In November of 2024, four senior women's teams from across the United States will tour Ontario, Northern Ontario, and Quebec playing games against the senior women of eight Canadian curling clubs. I am thrilled to advise you that as part of this tour, Huntsville has been selected to host the American curlers on November 7, 2024.
As a host, we have been asked to:
- Provide ice time for games held at our club
- Organize four teams of senior women curlers (age 55 and above)
- Seek out group rates and identify and arrange hotels (10 rooms) - USA will pay for hotels
- Serve meals/snacks depending on draw times to all participants (Americans & Canadians)

- Exchange club pins with the American curlers
- Provide small, travel friendly gift(s) to each American guest
- Organize a welcoming/opening ceremony and closing farewell
- Ensure the ice maker and/or volunteers have the ice ready for play
