The Salmon Arm rink was Skip David Long, Sandra Jenkins - third, Tracey LaTosky - lead, and Jared Jones - second.

Revelstoke Curling Club president Brian Lecompte represented Revelstoke in the mixed playdowns, but they didn’t make it to the finals. Lecompte said the competition featured “a high calibre of curling.

“I think everyone enjoyed themselves,” Lecompte said. “I think everybody enjoyed the community.”
