Cobb Mixed Bonspiel

history

Utica's first mixed bonspiel was held in 1953. The intent of the original bonspiel, was camaraderie, fellowship, courteous competition, and a heck of a good time. That year was also the first year that Art & Marie Cobb curled. They enjoyed the warm welcome that they soon made the curling club their home away from home. Over the years, the Cobbs gave to the club and to the sport so that others could experience what they enjoyed. In 1997, the mixed bonspiel was named for Marie Cobb, and 10 years later, it was renamed the Cobb Bonspiel in memory of both Art and Marie. Through their efforts, we can gather together to enjoy the camaraderie of our fellow curlers.
