Come learn to “sweep stones into the house” at the Eau Claire Curling Club.

On Sunday, Oct. 23, and Sunday, Jan. 15, the club is hosting “Learn to Curl” events that will be free for the public to attend. The events are 4-6pm at the Eau Claire Curling Club facility, 5530 Fairview Drive. On top of that, they offer the ability to join their Fall and Winter Sunday Half-Season league if the event piques your interest in the indoor winter sport.

Not only will they be instructing the basics of curling, they will also go over some curling culture. All you need to bring is clean shoes, comfy clothes, and a good attitude.

The Eau Claire Curling Club has been a long-standing organization in Eau Claire that has been a part of the community as early as the 1950s. Since then, the facility has been a significant monument in the curling community.
