2010 Deerhead Bonspiel

without comments

Win have a winner!  Our first bonspiel of the season was a success, especially when my own children discovered a the head of a deer on the kitchen table Saturday evening!

The Deerhead Bonspiel is a bit unique in that the grand price, a one-eye’d, broken-nosed, mangled-ear’d, mangy-coated, dusty dear head, goes to the winner of the 3rd event.  The 2010 winning team was skipped by Poynette’s Travis Cox and included Lori Cox, Andy Bernstein, and John Pederson.  Congratulations also to Team Kretzman, winner of the first event, and Team Dubberstein, winner of the third event.
Aside:  Our second round draw came down to an extra end where skips throw to see who can come closest to the button.  Travis Cox landed the first rock about 9 inches out.  My ears are still ringing after Brittany Falk’s velociraptor-like scream after putting her stone right on the button. Congrats on the nice win!
