Basswood curling rink memories and its end
A reminiscence of Basswood’s once vibrant curling scene, its rink with two ice sheets, frost on nails, and a rock that skimmed boards. The piece recalls the February thaws, shifting ice, broom technology shifts from straw to push brooms, and the mixed bonspiel. It honors long-time ice-maker Hughey Brown and the rink’s social hub, the Furnace Room.
