2:30pm @ Northern Lights Palace – Special send-off presentation for Melfort’s very own Special Olympics team as they head to the national Winter Games competition in Calgary in a couple days.
3pm @ Bourgault Curling Centre – 6 curling games, 12 competing businesses and municipalities. Who will be glorious and gain bragging rights! Cheer on your favourite business as they face their direct competitor in a fun, 4-end curling game.
4pm @ Northern Lights Palace – Throughout the day, a reporter and mobile cameraman will be capturing all the action in Melfort. Starting at 4pm, Bob Weeks will be live on-air from the festival grounds for a special TSN Broadcast. Let’s fill the Palace and show the nation just how much we love curling!
5pm @ Bourgault Curling Centre – Once the festival concludes, everyone will head over to the curling rink for an epic funspiel – our biggest one yet! No experience necessary. A curling tournament with a “twist” – short 4-end games, music on the ice, and great times. Sign up as a team of 4, but please contact melfortcurling@gmail.com if you are registering individually and we will put you on a team!
8pm @ Northern Lights Palace – The grand finale to an amazing event. Live music by Rock Candy. Doors open at 8:00 PM, with the band starting at 9:00 PM. Safe rides home at the end of the night within town limits.
