Are you getting excited for the second year of Curling Fest, which will take place Feb. 8-10?
Curling is like shuffleboard but played on ice, and is often called “chess on ice with granite and brooms.”
If you weren’t able to give this fun sport a try last year, make time and register now to participate in 2019.
Curling Fest, presented by Rick Taylor Real Estate, is a weekend of curling fun for beginners and experienced competitors, with a tournament and learn-to-curl sessions
There’s a tournament on Saturday, Feb. 9 for both experienced and novice competitors, and learn-to-curl lessons on both Feb. 8 and 10.
Spectators are welcome to come and watch the “bonspiel” (curling tournament) free and enjoy music, beer, food, hot cocoa, and more in a heated tent.
All competitors are guaranteed two matches and have a chance to win the Chelsea Curling Cup.

In case of warm weather, the competition will convert to a fowling tournament using the same team structure. Fowling is a hybrid game that combines football and bowling into one sport with a similar layout as horseshoes and cornhole.
No refunds offered after Jan. 25 and refunds will not be given for weather-related conditions or conversion to fowling tournament.
