About Bonnies
About Us
The Saint Paul Bonnies started in 1951 as the women’s-only league at the Saint Paul Curling Club. Having moved through rhinestone-studded glasses, beehive hairdos and bell-bottom pants (twice), today the Bonnies offer women opportunities for great curling, fellowship, and fun! Our members range in age from older-teens through super-seniors.
