Derby City Curling Club is set to host their 3rd annual curling tournament, titled BourbonSpiel, from February 28th to March 1st at the historic Alpine Ice Arena.
The competition will include a total of 14 teams, from 9 states across the U.S. and a team from Canada. To imbue the tournament with some Louisville pride, Steve Buttleman – the famed Churchill Downs bugler – will be performing at the finals on Saturday, March 1st at 7 p.m.

Winners of the tournament will take home an etched barrel top. Each team member will receive a swag bag, and a special award will be presented to the team that traveled the furthest to compete!
