Contential Cup/last two weekend in PEI and upcoming provincial events

Last weekend there was a ladies Cashspiel in Cornwall and Kathy O'Rourke beat Kim Dolan in the final.  This weekend our club the Silver Fox Curling & Yacht Club hosted a men's warm-up and Roddie MacDonald beat Robert Campbell in the final.  Congratulation to both teams.  Coming up quickly to provincials and really looking forward to them.  Provincial scotties are held the last weekend of this month in Cornwall with 6 teams.  The provincial tankard is held the weekend after at the Silver Fox with 15 teams.  Good luck too all teams and will be watching as much as I can.  Next weekend Charlottetown will host the Mark's Cashspiel.
Let's see.  Here are my thoughts on the Contenential Cup.  I like watching it but like many I know at least this event shouldn't  be happening or at least not Canadian Curling Association who take on the event as they say they have no money for other things that are more important than a event like this.  Even making volunteers paying for volunteering and they can't at least put the prizes down but instead they want to run this event which had no one there the first few days.  Congratulations to team North America on winning the cup and one event left tonight.  Kevin Martin plays Thomas Ulsrud in a skins game worth money.  Hope if they keep saying they are loosing money that they get their act together and stop this event as it's not a national event where many people enjoy watching and supporting.
Hope all is well with everybody.  Take Care,
Amanda
