Join Des Moines for a friendly at Owatonna Curling Club
Owatonna Curling Club in southern Minnesota is hosting a friendly Saturday, Feb. 21, between neighboring(ish) clubs: Cedar Rapids Curling and Des Moines Curling Club.
Friendlies are an opportunity for club members to enjoy a day of curling on dedicated ice and to make new friends. These events are open to everyone, from beginner to advanced curler, and typically consists of two to three short games, each followed by broomstacking.
More information will be coming, but save the date!
Free bonspiel for CRC members
The Midwest Curling Association hosts several bonspiels throughout the year that are FREE for Cedar Rapids Curling members. These are great opportunities to play on dedicated ice.
The 79th annual Dar Curtis Bonspiel will be Feb. 28-March 1 at Exmoor Country Club. Teams in the Dar Curtis must consist of two players with five or fewer years experience curling and two players with six or more years experience. We expect registration to open soon, so get your team together! Check the MCA website for updates and registration for the Dar Curtis.

Help high schoolers learn physics through curling
A group of Iowa City West High students will be using curling to learn physics concepts from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 9 at the arena.
We are looking for volunteers to help set up and assist. There will be two groups of students coming in and we will provide a 30-minutes lesson for each group. Then, they will conduct experiements of their own design, during which we'll just help if needed.
We're really excited about this partnership and hope you all can help us make it a great event!
