OLDS — The Shantz rink won the A side of the annual Olds Open Bonspiel, held March 14-16 at the Olds Curling Club, one of the club's last of the season.
The team included skip Justin Shantz, third, Tammy Schwass, second Jason Jackson and lead Tanner Schalin.
The Hansen rink (skip Nancy Hansen, third Vicky Shaw, second Jenna French and lead Jenna Jones) won the B side.
The C side winner was the Mueller rink (skip Cole Mueller, third Amanda Holowath, second Amy Vandenhoven and lead Jared Heck).
It was a colourful event, with lots of bright-coloured costumes or clothing.
Schwass says 26 teams took part in the bonspiel this year, up from the usual 24.
She says the tournament's retro theme was "a hit" resulting in "lots of neon and smiles."
The Olds Curling Club hosted 40 juniors curlers at its Junior Funspiel last weekend.
