STOUGHTON - One of the last bonspiels of the season was held on March 2 at the Stoughton Curling Rink.

The annual ladies bonspiel has been going on for years and it has always been an enjoyable time.

Jennifer Hogg said it was a small group that turned out, but those who attended had a great time and lots of laughs.

Tammy King, Jennifer Hogg, Reine Clark and Janet Mytopher, all from the Stoughton area entered teams into the bonspiel.

The event had a round robin with six-end games.

With a low number of teams, it was based on a point system, with points for a win and ends scored.

Tammy, Edith, Shoni and Shayda King took the big win for the day.

When the games were completed, the 50/50 draw took place. Tickets were sold for several months in advance and the lucky winner, Mitz Wakefield from Estevan, took home over $1,500.

Many businesses supported the event by offering raffle prizes, a penny auction and silent auction items, which were located in the lodge, while the bar was open.

To end the day, a lasagna supper with salads was served by the Crossroads Inn Bar and Grill. Desserts were donated.

Hogg said the day went well and they were happy that the weather held up for the event to take place.
