With the rich history of our event, we think it is important that we pay homage to the group of individuals that had the idea to put on this event as a networking opportunity for those in our industry. Over the years, the bonspiel has grown and evolve but if it weren’t for these individuals, we wouldn’t have been able to create such an amazing event.

Dave Gaston, Ed Hofer, Terry Tiffin, Don Martin, Don Skapik and Don Knopp were the original six people at the meeting that decided to host this event. After their discussions, they knew they would need help. They recruited Steve Durbak, Bob Farion, Rollie Duan and Bob Kent to complete the inaugural committee.
