5. Is there a dress code for Brooms Up! Curl for a Cause?
You bethchya! Wear clean shoes in order to be allowed on the ice. You should also dress in layers. Throughout the evening, you will be experiencing two different "climates." While on the ice, you will want to wear a light winter coat or warm sweater in order to be comfortable. When you are not playing, you will be hanging out and networking in the lounge where it will be “room” temperate.
