“After several months of dialogue with Saskatchewan gaming and licensing, we were instrumental in establishing Chase the Ace in the province,” said a release from Jim Woodward, president of the Kamsack branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.
The Kamsack branch is proud to announce that it has partnered with the Kamsack Volunteer Fire Fighters in providing a fundraising event that will benefit the entire community, the release said.
“Last fall the Kamsack Volunteer Fire Fighters (KVFF) came to the Legion with an appeal to help them raise money for a well-needed service vehicle,” it said. “The Legion did an initial donation with a promise to work with the KVFF in future fundraising.
“Every Friday (except holidays) we will open the Legion from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for Chase the Ace,” it said. “The fire fighters will be selling food items and we will co-share the bar.”
Woodward said that other venues will be introduced “if and when this jackpot grows.”
There will be a consolation winner every week and eventually when the Ace of Hearts is drawn the jackpot will be awarded and the process will start again, it said.
“This opportunity is open to the community and the winner must be present to win,” it said. “Please come out and have fun, keeping in mind any abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.
“Wear green on March 18 and we will start.”
