Pedestrians strolling down Stephen Avenue this afternoon will be able to take in some action on the pebbled ice.
A portable curling sheet, simulating conditions inside the Scotiabank Saddledome when the Tim Horton’s Brier kicks off Saturday, will be set up between 1st Street S.W. and Centre Street.
The street curling challenge will run from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The public will not only get to participate, they’ll also get to watch a special Celebrity Draw to the Button Contest around noon.
Local media personalities and Olympic athletes, including speed skater Denny Morrison and curling bronze medallist Amy Nixon, will be some of those hurrying hard.
