Well, it looks like I need to clarify a couple of things:
Katie competed in the Bemidji Junior Bonspiel this past weekend. There were 25 teams involved & Katie's team won the championship trophy. :) This is her second year in a row to win the bonspiel & she is elegible to try again next year. (She has to be under the age of 21 by June 1...& she qualifies for that.) However, she hasn't decided if she will or not.
When I said that we are going to Vancouver in 2010...I didn't actually mean in curling competition, rather as spectators...(sorry about any misconceptions). That doesn't mean that Katie won't have the opportunity to try out for the Olympic trials, but we all know that a lot can happen in four years, too. She was the fifth player on a team that did try out for the 2006 Olympics...& they came in 9th in the nation, so anything is possible!
I heard that there may be another curling rink built someplace in the Twin Cities...does anyone have any other info on that?
More curling news...our olympic champs will be arriving in Bemidji on the 10:15 flight tonight...& then Tuesday night, Dale is in charge of a fish fry to raise money for the Junior Curling program in Bemidji...&, of course, I help...& our olympic champs will be there to spur on the juniors. It should be an exciting couple of days. And, we will be tired!

I heard they're planning on building a new curling rink in Burnsville. It was just a little blip on the radio last week.
I didn't hear anything about timelines or anything else, just the location.
Thanks, Matt...if you hear any more news about it, would you post it please? Thnks.
