The Board of Directors of the Lodi Curling Club is pleased to announce the Capital Campaign which is directed toward fundraising for construction of a new curling facility. This facility will be sited roughly where the existing facility is located, at 704 Fair Street, on the grounds of the Lodi Agricultural Fair. This facility will be approximately 38' by 186'. It will feature 2 sheets of ice on a newly constructed ice field, in a newly constructed building. Additionally, the club will be upgrading the piping and ice-making equipment, expanding the viewing area, along with providing ADA compliant restroom facilities. The estimated cost of this project is still being finalized, and the Lodi Agricultural Fair has committed to donate to the building expansion project. The Lodi Curling Club has a fundraising goal of around $200,000. Final costs and dimensions are currently being finalized.
