CHARLOTTE, N.C. –  Wilson will be watching his favorite sport when the Olympics start next month…curling.  And to get  himself geared up for the big games, he decided to head out to the Charlotte Curling Center.

Founded in 2010 the Charlotte Curling Association  is a non-profit organization dedicated to the sport of curling and helping it to flourish in the Charlotte area.  Members range in age from 6 to 80 and have anywhere from no curling experience to seasoned veterans.
