The annual Aurora Roofing Mixed Bonspiel drew curlers from as far away as Quebec as well as the Lower Mainland and other Island locations to Port Alberni on March 14-16.
There were 24 teams that participated in the Western-themed spiel that had the upstairs decorated in everything from cowboy hats to a "most wanted" booth.
Aurora Roofing owner and sponsor Murray Tysowski presented the first place prizes to the A event winners: bouquets of flowers, hoodies and ball caps. “Thank you for letting me sponsor this event," he said. "This is the best in all of B.C. Thank you to the many volunteers and all of the sponsors.”
