Thirty-two Lions roared onto the ice at the Carlyle Curling Club on Sunday, February 1st, 2015 to vie for the honour of keeping the Lions Prairie Classic trophy for the next year.
       This fun day of curling was started last year by the Stoughton Lions Club and since Carlyle was the winner there, they were asked to host this year.
       The teams played three games of four ends each in the ‘skins’ format with points available to be earned each end. Whether it was luck, good curling or home ice advantage we are not certain but the Carlyle Lions were again the victors and will have their name on the trophy for the second year in a row. The other clubs in order of finish were – Maryfield Lions, Gainsborough Lions, Bienfait Lions, Fort Qu’Appelle Lions, Alida Lions, Estevan Lions, and Stoughton Lions.
       Each team received a bag of goodies and there were several door prize draws. The 50/50 winner was Lion Parry Peet from the Alida Club. The Estevan Club volunteered to host the event next year as moving around the district is part of the fun and a major way of Lions supporting each other.
               We are grateful to Lion Dennis Feduk for baking all the many kinds of world famous pies for lunch as well as to the local Lions (or their spouses) who made the delicious homemade soups. Lion Ray Lothian contributed bread for sandwiches and fruit cake for the team bags. Rons Work Wear Store, Shaw Construction and Enbridge contributed to the door prizes.
