Tomspiel With Us!

Curl A Turkey

eThere is a new and crazy sport on the horizon, and we want you to join in the fun! The Ice & Event Center introduces Turkey Curling! What is Turkey Curling, you say? Well, it’s just like old-fashioned curling on the ice, but instead of stones, we’ll use frozen turkeys!
This event is special in many ways. It is a food drive for local food-distributing organizations just in time for Thanksgiving, a fund-raiser for the Ice & Event Center, and it will bring together the community for a day of light-hearted competition!
We hope you will get together a team (or more than one!) and challenge another business or family or friends to a turkey-tossing duel. Already several teams have signed up to compete against each other, and you can name your challenge! Entry is only $20.
Please phone us at 721.5261 if you have any further questions or would like an entry form emialed to you. We look forward to you taking part in the 1st Annual Turkey Curling competition!
