The games will pause for a Remembrance Day ceremony at 11am on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Come an hour after the draw begins. Have a drink, or a coffee. Watch the winning shots. Order a meal in the curling clubroom, have a visit and rub shoulders with, oh, I dunno, Kevin Martin? Mike McEwen? Or how about the Gunner, Jason Gunnlaugson, who went to curl in Russia and is now curling for Jim Cotter? Or maybe last year&#8217;s Saskatchewan champs, the mild-mannered team Manners.<\/p>\n<p>Manitoba Champs, Rob Fowler will be here, and well, yah, Stoughton is coming too. Nothing like having a few world champions in the club. How about an Olympic Medalist&#8230; No, not Martin, we mean John Shuster (from Duluth Minnesota). He won a bronze in Turin in &#8217;06. Well, there&#8217;s also the leading money winner from Europe, team Michel from Switzerland, and their arch rivals and countrymen, deCruz. The strong Saskatchewan teams are lining up for the $50,000 prize money&#8230; Laycock, Bryden, Hartung. And our loyal regulars, who know the ice the best, like Thompson&#8217;s Sam Antila, and Willie Lyburn, provincial runner-up. This is going to be the best White&#8217;s yet.<\/p>\n<p>Day passes are only $5. Weekend passes are only $15.<br \/>\nCome for a visit, buy some refreshments. Enjoy the excitement. See you there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submitted by: Nelly Mills If you want to see the best curlers in the world, but are not keen on sitting through a two hour game, (the games are only eight ends in the World Curling Tour events), why not come to the club for the second half of the game?
