The Aberdeen Curling Club's Blues Brothers team of Mark Becking, Steve Gascoigne, Bryan Rau and Mark Tolvstad finished second last weekend at the Big Sky Bonspiel in Mizzoula, Mont. The team won four straight games to advance to the championship before losing on the last shot. Congratuiations!
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.

The Aberdeen Curling Club third annual "Broom Snapper" bonspiel registration is now open. The bonspiel will take place January 6th through the 8th.
In years past we've tried to hold this event outdoors. However, mother nature tends to be uncooperative so we have moved it inside the Holumn Expo Building. This way we can provide better ice for our curlers.
Cost is $240 per team. Register your team today by following this link.
Costumes encouraged for all divisions - prize for the top 2 teams.

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.
