The games began at 5:30 on Friday night and with 3 draws that evening, all 28 teams enjoyed some great games, complimentary nacho platters & visiting.<\/p>\n

Saturday was another action-packed day with another 5 draws, an incredibly delicious supper prepared by Debbie & the crew, hilarious games put on by the entertainment committee and a night of singing and dancing thanks to DJ Ryan Boyd and Pure Sound Entertainment. The evening was well-attended by some very interesting characters, ranging from mimes to sheep, pregnant nuns, salt & pepper shakers, stick people and a judge and her convicts! Cruella & her Dalmatians, some cows and even referees with a penalty box also provided entertainment for the evening!! The Stock Car Club provided everyone with a safe ride home so we could all come back and do it again on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Sunday brought us another 3 draws and many, many exciting games that came down the perfect placement of a final stone. There were so many \u201cTSN Turning Points\u201d that the crowds thickened as the day went on & the OH\u2019s, WOW\u2019s and cheers could be heard on the ice through the windows!<\/p>\n
