The Inuvik Curling Centre was bustling Jan. 21 as the Rock Stars Festival was back in full glory, drawing youth from as far away as Tsiigehtchic. The annual event, catering to kids aged five to eight years old, is designed to encourage children interested in the sport to embrace their brooms. Although only one team would win the trophy, all the kids were treated to pizza for their efforts.
