Saturday March 5
Tim Horton's Brier

The Ottawa Valley Curling Association says
"Go to TD Place for some great curling action....and pay NOTHING!"
 
TD Place: Tim Horton's Brier Ottawa
 

Folks might be interested in sketching at Lansdowne Park this Saturday morning (March 5) when the Ford Hot Shots and the Opening Ceremonies of the 2016 Tim Horton's Brier are taking place and admission is FREE! (FYI: The Brier opening weekend tickets cost $119.00)

For details and history on the Brier visit this link: http://www.curling.ca/2016brier/history-of-the-brier/

If you can't make it early to sketch the curling events and Opening Ceremonies, visit the Aberdeen Pavillion which is being converted to a "The Brier Patch" and a food court. The Patch is championship curling’s legendary party place withlive music etc! (Check out the schedule here: http://www.curling.ca/2016brier/fan-zone/)


This is an informal sketching session being offered at the very last minute.

Ottawa sketchers should plan to arrive at 11:00 am for the Ford Hot Shot finals. Stay for the Opening Ceremonies or wander around the other interesting venues in Lansdowne Park.

As always, be sure to post your sketches online for others to see on our Facebook group page

You can get your local grains, meats, cheeses, produce, locally produced baked goods, and sweets throughout the winter.

There will be plenty to sketch here!
