Winter is a time for us to step a few steps back from thinking about garlic 24 hours a day (ok, so maybe only 22 hours a day now) and spend a little more time with family, and do a few activities that we enjoy. Although the sport of curling is something relatively new to the Winter Olympics, it has been a part of the Centerville/Galesville/Tamarack area for several generations, and originally had its roots in Scotland. Many curlers at our local curling club are farmers that participate in the winter activity since there are no crops to tend to, and is a great socializing and networking opportunity.
Dan is the head ice maker at the Centerville Curling Club, while Jason serves on the Board of Directors, so we spend quite a bit of time here in the winter. We've curled together now for over 10 years, and both have been curling for over 25 years. We thought we would be able "kill 2 birds with one curling stone" and be able to support our club with a financial donation, along with promote Tamarack Garlic Farm by having an advertising sign at the curling club. The sign was recently hung up on the home end of the rink, and looks great!
This coming weekend we have a bus-load of curlers from Scotland coming to our club to take on our members as a part of their tour across the United States tour. The total number of points accumulated between the USA teams vs, the Scottish players over the 30 day tour determines the winner, and gets the trophy. We'll try our best to represent "Team USA"!
