The organizing committee for this year's SaskTel Tankard received a contribution of $2,500 from a local business. 

For Dylan Gilliss, of Gilliss Casing Services, it was an obvious event to support. 

"It's just great that Estevan keeps being eligible to host these events," shared Gilliss, General Manager. "And we're happy to do our part and make sure that it stays happening."

"It's a good driver for the community and Estevan needs that right now."

He added that his grandparents are excited to come and check out the level of curling that will be on display at Affinity Place.

"Yeah, they want to come and check it out and we figured this was a convenient way to get them here."

The SaskTel Tankard runs from January 31st - February 4th at Affinity Place.
