Curling has always been a popular sport along the North Shore and the Two Harbors Curling Club is making sure things stay that way.
The club hosted a two-week gym class this month for students at Two Harbors High School. It was the first time in nearly 10 years that the such a program was offered.
“We would like to get a juniors program,” said Sandy Cable, vice president of the club. There are plans to have Fridays open at the club beginning next week as a fifth-day option.
Cable said there are students who are club members.
“I think it’s really fun,” said Jon McDannold, a senior. He said it was nice to have something different thrown into the gym class mix. “It’s a lot different than other sports.”
Jake Iskat, also a senior, said that when he’s a little older, he would consider joining the curling league.
“At first I thought it would be boring,” said Jordan Raisanen, a sophomore. She also came to enjoy the sessions.
THHS gym teacher Lori Nelson said she saw some pretty good curlers on the ice. “We have a little more time this year [because of the four-day week] to make it worthwhile,” Nelson said.
Cable said everyone involved in the program volunteered their time.
