The provincial Scotties were held in my home town of Winkler this year. Hubby & I are not huge fans ( or knowledgeable) of curling but thought that it would be a great opportunity to learn more about the game as 3 grandchildren curl. So we bought passes for the whole event. There were 16 teams from all over the province competing for the win to attend the Canadian Scotties in Moose Jaw next month. It was 5 long days of sitting at the arena & I got a little side-tracked from time to time but overall, we both enjoyed all the games.
Was very exciting to watch the 2014 Olympian Jones Team curl. They certainly are very skilled & know how to plan their shots.

Friday evening, grandson, Adam - 3rd from left, & his curling team, received a Fair Play Award for a bonspiel they attended in Winnipeg in December. The presentation was done just before the evening draw in front of a large crowd.
After one of the games that Jennifer Jones curled, a dedicated Papa stood in line to get my pass signed by Jennifer Jones.
At the final game Sunday evening, the 2 teams were piped into the arena.

The Jones Team won the game. The Einarson Team certainly played very well & it was an exciting game. Was fun watching curling for 5 days & now I hear many pieces of fabric calling my name & it's time to go back into my sewing room.
