Brock Curling Rink entertains youngsters
By Joan Janzen
Did you know you’re never too young to begin learning how to curl? Every year, the elementary school students at D’Arcy School have the opportunity to attend a Curling School at the Brock curling rink.
This year, twenty-three kids from Kindergarten to Grade 6 gathered at the Brock rink at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, March 1st. The rock throwing began at 10:00 a.m. and concluded by noon, after which lunch was served to the hungry participants. The students enjoyed skating next door at the Brock rink during the afternoon.
A group of volunteers pitch in to help. Brock resident Laurie Kelly was on hand to feed the kids soup, cinnamon buns, hamburgers and hotdogs at the booth.
Brenda Meyer, secretary at D’Arcy School, attended along with the other staff members. “It’s a family day,” Brenda said. “Grandparents, uncles and aunties all come out. It’s an annual event, and most of the students know the basics of the curling game.”
You’re never too young to curl, and the folks at Brock supply junior-size rocks for the little ones.
