RAFFLE AND SILENT AUCTION
Come check out our raffle and silent auction where you can win cool prizes without even curling! Raffle ticket sales and silent auction bidding will be open from our first draw on Friday afternoon until closing time on Saturday night when we’ll announce the lucky winners!
Thank you to our sponsors that have provided generous donations towards the raffle and silent auction!
DOUBLE TAKE-OUT BALLOON CHALLENGE
Teams will compete to be the last team holding the double take-out balloon at the end of each round robin draw by removing two opposition stones in the house out of the playing field during their game. The winning team will receive either a $30 gift card to Stanley’s or a wingspan of raffle tickets!
We’re giving participants and/or any interested community members a chance to contribute towards this game within the game by becoming a draw sponsor. Sponsors will be acknowledged in the program and receive a shout-out at the beginning of their sponsored draw! (Note: In the event that no double take-outs are made in a draw or prizes are unclaimed, the value becomes a donation to SVCC.)
OPENING CEREMONY
TBD
WARMROOM BINGO
Participants and spectators alike can win raffle tickets by getting a BINGO watching the games on the ice. Just grab a bingo board at the registration table located in Stanely’s Sports Bar and mark out the board as you see various actions take place on the ice. No purchase necessary. Winners will receive raffle tickets based on how many lines you complete on your board!
TRAVOLTA CUP
A time-honored California bonspiel tradition, curlers already eliminated from competition will be chosen via lottery then formed into teams to compete for the Travolta Cup during the final draw on Sunday, May 26. Regular curling rules apply.
