At the Horizon Credit Union Centre in Melville we took part in some Provincial Day of Curling activities to help celebrate our provinces official sport! Over 200 elementary school children were in attendence to take in some of the women’s curling action, but we had a few other plans in store for them throughout the morning! We brought in two Saskatchewan Roughriders in Dan Clark and Jarriel King to take in some of the festivities and games with the children in the Last Rock Saloon Patch area.

There were opportunities for children to take part in the Rocks n’ Rings mini curling game, a curling bean bag toss competition, an autograph session with both Dan and Jarriel, numerous booklet activities, and other fun stuff!! The children had the opportunity to take in both the action as well as the activities in the Patch area throughout the morning to assist in introducing them to the sport of curling.

Once the children left back to school around the lunch hour, Dan and Jarriel snuck in to the arena to take in some of the action themselves.They were impressed with the skill and accuracy the curlers on the ice were displaying rock after rock, and thought they may stick with the game they know best, but do want to get on the ice some time and give it a try themselves!

The boys joined forces with our wonderful commentary crew (Shawn Joyce and Kim Hodgson) during a few ends of the morning draw to chat and learn more about the game of curling! Job well done everyone!

620 CKRM radio station was on location during the afternoon draw to conduct interviews with some of the players and other special guests during its edition of “Sports Cage” with Mitchell Blair. Former Brier champion Pat Simmons (below)was taking in some of the action today and joined infor an interview segment with Mitchell!
