There’s Cool Cash on the Table for Ford World Women’s Fans

Winners in each event will be awarded a $350 cash prize for first, $100 for second and $50 for third place.  Plus, they’ll receive a pair of Opening Weekend ticket packages to the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship. For every 30 members that register for the competition, the clubs will receive a pair of Old Classic ticket packages to distribute as they please or use as a club fundraiser. The winners also qualify for the Cool Shots championship March 17 in the Original 16 Patch where the prize stakes will rise to $1,000 for first, $350 for second and $150 for third.  And, the home club of the grand champions receives $5,000 cash!
