Today our highlight was curling at the new USA Curling National Olympic Training Center in Blaine. It is a beautiful 6 sheet facility. Our BC women competed against 2 teams from the local Four Seasons Curling club with some SPCC assistance We were also fortunate & pleased to have 2 teams from Centerville, WI join the competition & comraderie. A great time was had by all! The day will also include a bus ride to Fargo, ND with a dinner stop in Alexandria, MN.
Our dinner stop was a real treat. We arrived in time to shop a bit on Broadway including a stop at the Sugar Shack which is reputed to have the best cookies in the state. Dinner was at La Ferme a gem of a French restaurant. We applauded the chef and everyone appeared happily full as they boarded our bus for the final leg to Fargo arriving after 9 PM. We stayed across from the FM Curling Club but curling was finished for the evening.
The Centerville Ladies join the tour.
