Congratulations to Aber-Dabber-Doo for winning the B Event at the 5-Club Bonspiel at the FM Curling Club March 25-27 in Fargo. Team members are, from left, Matthew Perreault, Scott Waltman, Ann Podoll and Matthew Klundt. Thank you to all of the Aberdeen teams that attended and all of the curlers who helped make the bonspiel a success by pitching in with duties. Our club made more than $2,300 over the weekend. Thanks again to everybody who volunteered and to our hosts at the FM Curling Club.

As a reminder, we will need 10 vounteers on Friday, April 14 to help at the Ducks Unlimited Spring Banquet. This is another chance to raise funds for our club. If you enjoy curling and the people you meet and are interested in playing again next season, please make time to help out. All Aberdeen Curling Club teams should be able to provide at least one volunteer. If you're interested, call Scott Waltman at 605-228-2617.

Aberdeen Curling Club members Danny Wolfgram, John Hilton, Alex Wolfgram and John Peterson managed to accomplish what few curlers do as a team.  Complete an eight ender or a "snowman" as they are sometimes called.

An eight ender is compared to a perfect game in baseball by some due to how rare and difficult they are.  Also, the team from Aberdeen scored this eight ender without the hammer. 

The Aberdeen Curling Club held its annual September learn to curl on Saturday September 18th.  Several people came out to give curling a try as the league gears up fo the 2021-22 season.  

If you want to try curling please keep an eye out for future learn to curls or if you want to schedule a corporate curling event for your business, club or organization reach out to us!
