Scope and content
In January of 1949 the first team curling competition in the Tacoma area was held at the Lakewood Ice Arena, 7310 Steilacoom Blvd. S.W., Lakewood. In this photograph, three curlers sweep the ice to help control the curling stone as it slides toward the target behind them. A fourth member of the team stands close to the target directing their actions. The three curlers with brooms are (l to r) Anton Barcott, later the owner of Harbor Lights, Al St. Pierre, Boeing firefighter, and Don Gilbertson, who was a junior in high school at the time and ran the snack bar at the ice arena.
