STOUGHTON - The Stoughton Crossroads Multiple 4-H club held its annual youth bonspiel on Feb. 25 at the Stoughton Curling Rink with over 40 participants from five to 18 years of age.
This event was held so kids of all ages could come out and enjoy the game of curling. It was open to all kids whether they had curling experience or just wanted to try the sport.
Teams were given names and players were placed on teams. Each team had the opportunity to play from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., with the final game played at 3 p.m.
Many prizes were donated from local and surrounding areas of Stoughton.
Lunch was supplied throughout the day in the rink’s newly-renovated kitchen, where several volunteers came to support the cause.
The chatter and excitement of the kids could be heard through the curling rink as they cheered each other on and gave pointers for those to learn.
The viewing area seats were filled with parents, family and friends to encourage the kids to have fun and do their best.
Jeryn Tanner is the general leader of the club and one of the organizers of the event.
This event has been held for many years and the 4-H club has been in existence since the early 1950s, although over the years the name has changed.
Their focus this year is on beef cattle and the club will hold its annual achievement day in July at the Tanner farm.
