3380...Saskatchewan Moves South

Curling is the sport in Saskatchewan, the sport, bigger than even softball.

The Omaha World-Herald tells the world that the National Sport of Saskatchewan is taking root three states south of the most rectangular political unit in the world.

Jordan's Bar in Valentine, a town in the western part of Nebraska, has built its own curling rink and is now hosting leagues and tournaments. Owner Marty Jordan, no relation to Michael Jordan, says that he and the barflies at his bar watched curling during the Vancouver Olympics and the bar crowd just loved it. Loving his customers Mr. Jordan decided to give curling a try.

The bar's outdoor curling rink is about half the size of what is seen on the Olympics. And, instead of stones, they use milk jugs filled with a concrete mixture.

The one thing that the curlers in Nebraska and curlers in our Home and Native Land have in common is that they are refreshed, totally refreshed.
