Club History

In February of 1903 a paper was circulated among some men in Mankato asking who would be interested in forming a curling club.  This was followed by a meeting on September 12th, 1903 at which time a constitution and by-laws were drawn up.  The rest is history.

Eight-ends:  There have been 7 eight-ends recorded in club history.
