Fun & Camaraderie
-
Doubles Board - If your team makes a double-takeout (completely removing two or more of your opponents’ stones from play), locate and ring the cowbell (attached to a balloon) and place that bell at the end of your curling sheet. The last team in possession of the cowbell at the end of the draw wins a round of drinks from our sponsor, Cold Garden.
