Members of the 2018 SaskTel Tankard organizing committee were grateful this morning when Estevan Meter presented them with a cheque for $1,000 to go towards the upcoming event. 

"We like to sponsor local events," shared Jarrad Skuce with Estevan Meter, "and we're quite excited about this one coming to the City of Estevan."

"It'll be good for the economy," added Dallas Fleck,"and a lot of people will be out to watch it, I'm sure."

Aside from the business advantages that such an event will bring to the city, they are also excited about the level of curling that will be on display. 

"We planning to go watch some curling," said Skuce. "And looking forward to watching it at Affinity place. It's a great venue."

The Tankard will take place at Affinity Place in Estevan from January 31 - February 4th, 2018.
