Pin Trading

The pin collectors are coming! The unofficial sport of the curling event is pin collecting. Curlers and fans will be coming with their traders to enhance their collections. There is no fun in just asking for a pin, it’s the bartering, the trading and the stories that make pin trading so much fun. Our event will have one of a kind 2008 Ford World Women’s Curling Championship pins, Sponsor pins and of course a special Volunteer pin. Look for the pin traders table on the main concourse at the Greater Vernon Multiplex.
