Excited to announce that DCS has been acquired by Broomfitters! Darcy and Paul are shifting into retirement mode and leaving the company in the capable hands of Than Tibbetts, founder of Broomfitters. Given Than's strong business savvy and MN roots, we know the future is bright for DCS!

Tariff Impacts Update 3/14/2025: While the threatened 25% tariff on goods made in Canada was rolled back, the added 10% on China was not.  Goods made in China are now receiving a punitive additional tariff of 20%.  ...

While the 25% tariff on Canada went away, the tariff on China did in fact go up to 20% ten days ago. Our hand is forced and we simply must increase tariff surcharges we're passing through as a result. Call your reps to let them know this pointless trade war must end!

We are aware that DT has enacted a 25% tariff on goods made in Canada and an additional 10% tariff on goods made in China. We plan to wait 10 days to see if this self-resolves, but if it does not we will be forced to increase the tariff surcharges we put in place two weeks ago.

Thanks so much!

We’ll keep a light on for you 😉

Someone picked up bottles for St Paul this morning so they should be available for sale there very soon! (But come visit us anyway, we'd love to see you too 😀)

We see you play at Four Seasons and wanted to mention that they should be on sale at the front desk there sometime this week. We shipped bottles to that club this morning.

I mean, we guess you could put frozen yogurt in these bottles if you really wanted to. No judgement from us! 😜

Woo hoo! The Curl Minnesota Collectible Water Bottles are officially on sale now!

Paul and Darcy are playing hooky this weekend, hanging out watching the championship weekend of The Scotties!

Maybe because MN curlers want to meet YOU?

We're excited to announce a new product we've developed in a joint project with the MN Curling Association! Soon you'll be able to buy a Curl Minnesota water bottle and collect club logo stickers as you visit each club in the state. On sale in most curling clubs and our website starting March 1st.

Here's a glimmer of good news on the tariff front: The personal duty exemption for small shipments under $800 has been restored! This means that we can resume accepting orders for left handed and double gripper shoes.

Tariff Impacts We're guessing that you are unaware that most curling equipment is made in China, but unfortunately it is, and that means that much of what we sell is now subject to a punitive 10% tariff on good of C...

Let's talk tariffs. We don't really want to, but we must.

The trade war with China is unfortunately impacting the consumer cost of some curling equipment and we want to be as transparent as possible with you about what's changing.

Our mobile shop is on the road, headed to visit the Kansas City Curling Curling tonight and tomorrow. Any of our followers playing in the KC 5 and Under this weekend? First shopper to mention they saw this post on Blue Sky wins a prize!

This is some interesting research conducted on the variations between different curling brush handles (not the brush heads).

World Deaf Curling Championships By US Deaf Curling

Over the years we’ve got to know many dear friends in the world of Deaf #Curling and are very excited to see the World Deaf Curling Championship taking place right in our back yard this April! The organization is raising funds to put on this world class event. Can you help?

Our favorite part about setting up our shop in a bar instead of at the #curling club is listening to the non curling patrons at the next table explain (badly) how curling works. “The guy in charge doesn’t do any sweeping, he just yells at the other players to tell them to make it go left or right.”

Curling in Lakeville Kristin and Kelli have teamed up for another KH Adventure and went to check out their curling skills at the Dakota Curling Club in Lakeville.

Fun fact: Dakota Curling Club and Dakota Curling Supplies are completely unrelated entities despite the similar names. Anyone know the story about why the names are so similar?

After our stop in South Dakota, we're headed to the Aksarben Curling Club in Omaha Nebraska on Sunday. Did you know that Aksarben is just Nebraska spelled backwards??

Up next: rolling out our mobile pro shop this Saturday to visit the Brookings Curling Club in South Dakota! We love this club visit because it's the only one where we set up in a brewery rather than at the curling club's arena. 🍻
