Get your brooms ready for the upcoming Heart and Stroke Curlathon.
The one-day only event is set for Feb. 25, and has room for 24 teams this year.
This year's theme is James Bond Casino Royal, and costumes are heavily encouraged - in fact there will be prizes for the best-dressed team.
Teams can be made up of your Kevin Martin wannabes, or can be a collection of mis-matched non-curlers. Each team will play three four-end games during the day starting at 9 a.m.
The action is usually finished up around 5 p.m., making way for a dinner at 6 p.m. and dance at 8 p.m. Those not interested in curling are free to stop by and watch throughout the day, or tickets for the dinner and dance can be purchased for $25. A silent auction will be held and prizes will be given out throughout the day. Tickets will be on sale at a location in town closer to the event, but for now they can be reserved through Oderkirk-Bungay.
Each team can sign up before the early bird deadline on Feb. 1 for just $120 per team. After the deadline the price will go up to $160 per team.
Teams can register for the Curlathon online, and this year only 24 spaces are available. To register, volunteer or pick up tickets for the dinner and dance, contact Oderkirk-Bungay at (250) 919-0401. Oderkirk-Bungay is looking to step down from co-ordinating the Curlathon after this year, and is looking for a new candidate to step up. Contact her for more information.
Information on the Heart and Stroke Foundation and how to register can be found online at www.heartandstroke.bc.ca. The website contains tips on how to prevent heart and stroke, as well as heart-healthy recipes. Curlathon registration and fundraising can be done under the Fit for Heart link, or through registration chair Jon Bisset at (250) 420-2745 or email at jbisset@shaw.ca.
