Curling Presentation!
Thank You to Stephen and Jan Smith for providing a very entertaining and interesting presentation on the sport of curling. With the Olympics about to kick off, it was great to understand all of the details (the stone is made of a unique granite and way around 42 pounds), the methods (the broom sweeping actually speeds up the stone by heating the ice), the history and the rules!
