It was a packed house in the lounge and on the ice over the weekend at the Grand Forks Curling Club when nearly 100 curlers took to the ice to throw stones in the club’s first bonspiel of the season.

While many teams were local, a handful travelled from Trail, Castlegar and elsewhere.

It was a team from away that claimed top spot in the men’s A division, for example. Curlers Ben Morin, Erik Colwell and Mitchell Kopytko travelled from Vernon and Kamloops to join their former junior teammate Logan Miron in Grand Forks. The drive proved worth it for the young team.
