To follow up on our story from last weekend about the East Cobb-based Peachtree Curling Association (Facebook page): They’re having a “lock-in” event to watch the U.S. men’s Olympic team face Sweden in the gold-medal match very late tonight.
Since that’s in Korea, it means overnight here, and to specific it’s 1:30 a.m. local time. The Peachtree Curling rink is located at 4880 Lower Roswell Road, right behind the Marietta Ice Center and East Cobb Library.
They had a tailgate for the semifinals, which the Americans won in an upset over Canada to reach their first-ever gold-medal match.
Keep in mind that if you’d like to watch in person, to bundle up before you come: Low temperatures overnight tonight are expected in the 60s, but the curling building will be cold, only 45 degrees. It probably will feel even colder with the ice temps at 25 degrees.
In addition to wearing a jacket or coat, it might not be a bad idea to bring a cap and gloves and to wear socks, as we found out the hard way.
