Lawton, Kasner grew up playing tag around P.A. curling club
She may be curling out of Saskatoon Nutana Curling Club and grew up in Shellbrook, but Stefanie Lawton will always have a soft spot in her heart for Prince Albert.
She and her sister Marliese Kasner born in Prince Albert and they spent many days in P.A. Most of those were at the Prince Albert Golf and Curling Club—where they’re currently playing at the 2016 Viterra Scotties Tournament of Hearts Women’s Championship.
While they were still rambunctious youngsters, Lawton and Kasner got bored out of their skulls as got tired of waiting for their parents’ or siblings’ curling games to end. They eventually found some creative ways of killing the time around the PAGCC.
“The games would go on for so long and we couldn’t just sit there when we were so young, so we went and played in the change room,” laughed Lawton. “We turned off the lights and played blind man around there, played tag and did all kinds of stuff. It was fun.
