Attendees will be introduced to the Olympic sport of curling and will be given the chance to touch and feel a genuine curling stone made of 60-million-year-old Scottish granite. They will also learn the basics of the game and the peculiar, specialized equipment that it is played with. All of this just in time for the 2026 Winter Olympics in February!
David Florig lives in Ocean Park, Maine. He is a member of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance. Florig is also a member of the Belfast Curling Club in Belfast, Maine and is the author of three novels that center curling: Negative Peace, The Stones of Ailsa Craig, and The Shattered Curling Stone.
