OLDS— A rink from the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.) won the annual Olds Ladies Bonspiel, held March 13-15 at the Olds Curling Club.

Other rinks from as far as Calgary took part, as well as rinks from Mountain View County, including Carstairs and Olds.

The Lentz rink came second, the Keck rink third, and the Strautman rink finished in fourth place.

The B event was won by the Angie Fazakas rink with third Sadie Southern, second Hope Southern and lead Tammy Southern.

The Hohenwarter rink placed second, the Wolff rink third and the Huffman rink fourth.

The C event went to the Cheryl Van De Pypekamp rink with third Sheila Schimke, second Elaine Taylor and lead Kathy Kemmere.
