The Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch has come under some financial strain recently, and is since doing much better, but they still need help moving forward with improving their building and continuing to be a great service to the community.
In an interview with the Mercury, local DJ Dave Elliot said he and others were interested in helping out the legion, and slowly came together with an idea to host a dinner and a dance that will take place in the legion hall on Feb. 17 at 5:30 p.m.
Tickets for the dance are $10 and tickets for the dance and dinner are $35. Everyone is encouraged to come out and have a good time, and help the legion continue to serve the community in Estevan.
“The topic of the legion came up and we just kind of thought we could have a lot of fun at night preforming for people and we could donate time and help out the legion,” said Elliot.
Elliot hopes to attract a younger crowd to the legion later in the night.
“We are going to have a lot of talent out for the dance and entertainment that night. I am more of an old rock sort of guy. Richey Roy will be coming out as well and he does more hip-hop music and magic tricks. Tyler Weiler will be the later show and he will be a prelude to The Broke Scholar who is a rapper,” said Elliot.
