Curling

Today I got to learn about Curling and play a game!
The Belfast Club is the only one in the state of Maine.

These are the stones. They are heavy. You don't actually throw them.
It does take some skill to push the stone across the ice to have it end up in the house (the big circle).

Those are the brooms you use to control the speed of the stone.

The ice is pitted so its not slippery,
 but you wear a cover on your shoe to make it so you can slide
when you send the stone down the rink.
