Curling sponsor Tim Hortons introduced a curling contest back in early October, part of their “Every Cup Tells a Story” campaign.
Websurfers were invited to tell their own curling story (involving Tim Hortons, of course) and the public gets to vote, online, for the best tale.
The winning storyteller will be named Grand Prize Winner of a trip for two to the final weekend of the Tim Hortons Canadian Curling Trials in Edmonton, which starts on December 6. The trip includes flights, accommodations and tickets to the Women’s and Men’s Finals at the Roar of the Rings.
Storytellers could even upload their own photo to accompany their story.
Why are we using the past tense? Apparently, the contest is now closed.
Geez. While we are somewhat amazed we didn’t hear about this contest, we are also miffed no one told us about it. Like.... Tim Hortons? The Canadian Curling Association, perhaps?
While TCN Blogreaders might not be able to submit their own story, they can still vote on their favourite story, and help declare the winner. Visit this page and scroll through the multitude of curling stories, and cast your vote today!
TCN readers could definitely play a role in the decision, for there seems to be an eight-way-tie going on between For the love of the game (from Hubbards, NS); 3 Generations (from Waterford, ON); The Day I Knew (Bowmanville, ON); Horsmans take on Jimmy The Kid (Quispamsis, NB); Summer of 2001 (Chase, BC); How I Met My Husband (Belnan, NS); Twilight Curling (Calgary) and the story we voted for: A Curling Legend (Norwood, ON).
Anything else? Yes, lots, but you need to follow the TCN Twitter feed, to learn more about:

• Roar of the Rings tickets: are sales lagging?
• video of Olympian Deb McCormick on Last Call with Carson Daley

• Manitoba team heads to Dominion Club Championship
• PEI teams chasing Canada Games berths
and more to come throughout the day, of course...
