The time has almost come for Estevan to host the 2018 SaskTel Tankard and the excitement is growing. Members of the organizing committee have been working hard behind the scenes to put everything in place, and that includes raising the funds to put on such a large event. They've been grateful for all the support they have received. 

"It feels really great," shared sponsorship committee member, Sheila McGillicky. "It's been really successful for us. Going into this, we didn't really know how it was going to turn out and we're really pleased with how it's all turned out."

"It's nice to see the community really come together and Estevan is such an awesome community when it comes to things like this. It's just nice to see everyone pull together and work together and it's going to be a good event."

An avid curler herself, McGillicky is looking forward to the high level of curling that will be on display.

"I'm really, really excited to watch this kind of curling come to Estevan and see the teams out there and everything that comes along with it."

Opening Ceremonies get underway at 5:30 pm on January 31st at Affinity Place.
