The cold spell that has been plaguing the Twin Ports this week is supposed to break this weekend, with temperatures breaking into positive territory on saturday.  A welcome development indeed.  So, what’s going on this weekend?

Tonight at 6pm at the Duluth Curling Club, the second fun ’spiel of the season will be held.  This event is open to all adults and all skill levels, so if you have friends who are interested in trying out the greatest sport in town, bring them down.  Ken and Joanne Docteur are hosting the event, which begins with a little curling, then switches to the lounge for some socializing and live entertainment (Marty = Party).  (There is also a hockey game at the DECC tonight.  My alma mater takes on the Bulldogs– hopefully this matchup will be a conference game in future seasons!)

The Minnesota State Mens and Womens Championships are underway down south at the St. Paul Curling Club.  So far Seppo Sormunen’s rink is undefeated; no standings for the women are posted yet but its a safe bet that Norma O’Leary is fielding a very competitive team.

Have I missed anything?  Let me know:  andy@curlduluth.com.
