The Bob Kolodziejski rink of Canora, with John Zbitniff, Terry Wilson and Robin Ludba, won both bonspiels held in Buchanan in February.
In the Darrell Teslia Memorial Bonspiel from February 12 to February 14 with 12 rinks entered, the Kolodziejski rink recorded its first win and then in the Buchanan Open Bonspiel held February 24 to February 28, the Kolodziejski rink came out on top again.
In the memorial bonspiel, the Kent Zuravloff rink of Buchanan, with Kevin Fediuk, Paityn Zuravloff and Terry Buchinski, won the second event. The third event was won by the Eugene Prychak rink of Buchanan, with Nick Woloschuk, Betty Tomilin, and Rory MacDonald.
It was the third year that the bonspiel was held in Buchanan.
In the Buchanan Open, the Terry Dennis rink of Canora, with Dale Lozinski, Kelly Beblow and Mel McCormick, won the second event. The third event was won by the Jonathon Strykowski rink of Preeceville, with Greg Zuk, Andrea Tonn and Robyn Zuk.
Chili cook off
An added attraction at the Buchanan Open was a chili cook off which attracted seven competitors.
Sam and John Teslia teamed up for the win. They called their entry “Where’s the Beef?”
Bonnie Bazarski with an entry she called “Dog-Gone Chili,” placed second.
About 35 persons attending the cook off were each asked to taste chili samples provided by the seven competitors and then vote for their favourites.
“It was a great fundraiser for the curling club,” said Heather Wiebe, one of the organizers.
