International curling experts coming to Tahoe

Lake Tahoe’s only curling club is hosting the World Curling Federation on Sept. 6 from 8-9:30pm.

Lake Tahoe Epic Curling will then host a learn-to-curl session Sept. 7 from 5:30-8pm.

Both events are open to the public and are at the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena on Rufus Allen Boulevard.

The World Curling Federation, headed by Kate Caithness of Scotland, is the world governing body of the Olympic Winter Sport of Curling and the Paralympic Winter Sport of Wheelchair Curling. U.S. Olympic Curler Ann Swisshelm will be in town for the event as well as local members of LTEC.

Sunday’s learn-to-curl session costs $25 per person ($15 for locals with a valid ID), which includes off-ice and on-ice instruction, plus game play. Wear comfortable sneakers with good tread and appropriate clothing. Send an email to info@tahoecurling.com to reserve a spot.
