Red Deer Oilmen’s Curling Bonspiel celebrates 39th anniversary
After celebrating their 39th anniversary, the Red Deer Oilmen’s Bonspiel board is hoping to get a large crowd for their big 4-0 next year.
“This year was probably one of the most positive experiences I’ve ever had. The players, the people who attended, everybody was so happy to be there and so positive about the effort we put in to try to make it work again,” said Blaine Ringham, board member for the bonspiel and Health and Safety Consultant. “I really think that there will be lots of people that help and promote and just encourage other people to come next year.”
From January 20-23, the Oilmen held their 2023 bonspiel at the Pidherney Centre (4725 43 St) curling club following a two year pause. There were twenty teams of four who participated with the IFR Workwear Team claiming the winning title. Participants come from all fields relating to, or working in close proximity with, the oil industry.
