Witherspoon Sacks Flour in Christmas Curling Contest
The annual Christmas curling event drew large crowds as Fortunate in having ideal weather and the biggest turnout yet. President Wilson and Dr. Witherspoon led teams in a three rink challenge where the loser paid a sack of flour to be donated to the Salvation Army. Scores show Wilsons 50 to Witherspoons 31, with spectators hopeful for a women’s team. The bonspiel between Butte and Anaconda curlers starts New Year’s Eve with 16 rinks and four major events, and refreshments will be provided at the rinks through the ensuing week.
