The Estevan Police Association is once again bringing a magic variety show to entertain children and families in the community.
The event will take place on Jan. 31 at the Estevan Comprehensive School, starting at 6:30 p.m. Entertainers will include Marty Putz, Richy Roy, and Murray and Teresa Hatfield.
“It’s going to be a magic and a comedy show for the youth to enjoy from the community,” said Sgt. Kevin Reed, the president of the Estevan Police Association.
Roy was part of the entertainment last year.
Reed said he is looking forward to watching the performers, and seeing how the audience reacts to the show.
“It’s a good way to interact with the community, and for the public to see a different side of police officers,” said Reed. “The vast majority of their contacts aren’t always in the best of circumstances.”
Ticket sales are going well, Reed said, and he expects there will be a rush to get tickets in the days prior to the event. Tickets will be available at the door.
The promoter for the event has been approaching people to see if they want to purchase tickets.
The police association has been holding the variety night for several years, and it’s an event that has proven to be successful. Proceeds from the event will be directed to causes in the community. The EPS has received very good feedback from the community regarding previous shows.
Reed pointed out that proceeds from last year went to the Estevan Salvation Army’s food bank, the United Way Estevan and the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation.
A recipient for this year has not been determined.
