They're rallying the troops in Queens County, ahead of the M and M Meat Shops Canadian Junior Curling Championships. The South Queens Chamber of Commerce and the event's host committee are welcoming people to a 'pep rally' this evening from 5-7pm in the community room at Queens Place Emera Centre. Chamber President, Barry Tomalin, says the rally will help highlight the community's effort, a rundown of day-to-day events and expectations. He says the rally is an effort to prepare the town for the championships.
Tomalin says they're expecting an additional 2,000 people in town during the curling tournament, which starts January 18.
