Travel Channel Features Bucks County Curling Club

A unique Bucks County institution located in Warminster recently got some love from the Travel Channel.

The Bucks County Curling Club was featured on the channel's website, in an online feature entitled "4 Places Where You Can Try Your Hand at Olympic Sports."

Obviously, the piece was in response to the Olympic fever that has descended upon the globe. The Winter Olympics are underway in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Here's what the Travel Channel said about the local sporting club:

Curling has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years thanks to a comparatively low level of ability needed and larger availability regionally. Thirty minutes north of Philadelphia, the Bucks County Curling Club is a prime example of making this Olympic sport accessible to everyone.

For as little as $50/person, you can rent equipment, get instruction and simulated gameplay all in two hours. They’ll even explain the differences between skips and rocks, so you’ll sound like a pro when watching the pros on TV.

But if you'd rather just watch the games from your couch, that's fine, too. There are three Bucks County natives representing Team USA. Read more about them here.
