The Aksarben Curling Club hosts multiple bonspiels every year. The Halloween costume-themed Bone-Spiel Fun Spiel kicks off our curling season in October. Our club's long-running signature bonspiel, the Irish Open Bonspiel, is held every March. In 2023, we are launching the inaugural Aksarben Curling Season Championship Bonspiel open to the teams that won their fall or winter league. We help support the Cornhusker State Games in providing a curling event during their annual summer games in July. We also have a Women's Funspiel (Ladies Ice!) to grow the community among women curlers.
