A damaging summer storm swept across northern Michigan, causing major damage to the Copper Country Curling Club in Calumet. The debris has since been cleaned up. According to Gordon Maclean, club president, repairs are scheduled to be completed by mid-November, which bodes well for the curling season. This wasn’t the only club that took a hit from Mother Nature recently. The Minot (N.D.) Curling Club suffered signficant flood damage from the historic swelling of the Souris River in late June. That club’s season is still up in the air as the city continues to recover.
