Ryan Austin won the T-shirt contest!  Congratulations Ryan!

Final version of the shirt will be available in at least 2 different colors.

As soon as they are ready you can order them from the ECC on-line “Shop” or get them at the “rink” during the Open Houses and during league play!   We’ll let you know when they are ready!

Clint Lances design placed second.

Howdy!

This is going to be an exciting year!  You will see lots of changes to the web site a lot of the Kudos can go to Joe Petsche!

However, I want to mostly talk about curling in this section of the blog. To give you an idea of what’s coming, I’m going to review curling videos and computer curling games… and relate my own curling experiences as they happen.

On going for me is finding a pair of curling shoes that fit me! I am blessed with wide W-I-D-E feet width DDDD, yes! that’s 4 D’s … Yikes.  My old curling shoes from my University days no longer fit!

When I was in Winnipeg last year (visiting my mother) I visited Atkins Curling Supplies… Asham Curling Supplies was still closed for the summer!

While at Atkins I purchase a chunk of  teflon sliding material and some gripper  material. They need to be attached to a pair of shoes… I have a pair of “World Wrap” skate shoes that I got from the Sports Authority last year, but I am not convinced they deserve to be converted into a dedicated curling shoe.  So, I’m still looking.  Because I have such W-I-D-E  feet I need to visit Brand Name Outlet stores… Nike and Adidas are on my list.  I’ll let you know how it goes…

We need a club T-shirt! We need a T-shirt that can draw attention to ECC and curling!

I know YOU can do better…

One Suggestion was “We throw Rocks at Lloyd Center!” Well my immediate thought was something like this…

Amazing what you can find on the Internet these days. Yes that’s the Lloyd Center. (It’s a Google 3-D Map!)

OFFICIAL RULES

ECC T-Shirt Design Contest.

Deadline June 20th.

Prize:  A one year membership to the Evergreen Curling Club and a T-Shirt with your design on it!

You can download the club logo here. It’s a very large .tif file If you’d like an eps file e-mail me and I’ll send it to you.

You can specify T-shirt color, but we’ll reserve the final choice of “cut” or style of the shirt…

Contest Test Dummy Shirt

Keep the number of colors in the design at 4 colors or less, as the number of colors increases the final price of the shirts. Since curling is a game with Scots origins…
