THE EDGESPORTS Wainwright Curling Club hosts annual Wainwright Oilmens bonspiel

The Wainwright Curling Club was home to the annual Wainwright Oilmen’s Bon- spiel this past weekend. A total of 12 teams competed in the bonspiel, which ran over two days on Friday and Saturday, February 8 and 9. Pictured above, Doug Dalton was in the zone as he delivered a shot during a game on Saturday.
