Brenda Anderson’s High Prairie rink won the C Event with a high-scoring 9-7 win over Ro-Bar Trucking sponsored rink from Slave Lake. Anderson executed a perfect double takeout in the sixth end to score four and take an 8-3 lead. However, Robar rallied to score four of her own in the seventh to make it 8-7. That forced Anderson to score one in the eighth end to win. The shot was not an easy one as Anderson was drawing into the rings and bumped off a Ribar stone to score the winning point. Rink members, left-right, are skip Brenda Anderson, third Cindy Shewchuk, second Anita Houle and lead Patti Lanigan.
