Upcoming Olympics bring attention to curling club

The Plainfield Curling Club, well known to the curling enthusiasts in our family, has been getting some media attention in recent days as the Winter Olympics approach.

The Star-Ledger ran a feature article Feb. 2:

"Whenever the Winter Olympics roll around — as they will starting next Friday in Vancouver — newspaper reporters and TV film crews stop by the lodge-like building tucked in an industrial park off Route 287 in South Plainfield."

The Plainfield Curling Club also was featured on Comedy Central's "Colbert Report," as part of a series on faux news-host Stephen Colbert's attempt to get on the U.S. Olympic team. That goofy 6-minute video can be seen here.
