Rock The Bid - 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts
2018-01-28 09:00 - 2018-02-04 00:00 (America/Vancouver)
A group of volunteers is urging BC curling fans to “Rock the Bid” and help them bring the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, one of Curling Canada’s premier events, to Penticton in 2018. The Penticton host committee has until June 30 to submit a bid on to Curling Canada.
The SOEC is perfect for the event as the competition venue and the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, where the Party (the Patch) will be held, are connected via an enclosed walkway. We are confident that we can put on a first class event. We just need the public to get behind this and purchase a full event pass” said Kirkham.
An event of this magnitude will bring a significant economic benefit to the City of Penticton, during a time of year when it is really needed. Along with national television exposure and an opportunity to highlight the area, there will be an arena audience expected to be in excess of 80,000 over the 8 days of competition. Attendees will provide economic spinoffs through hotel stays, shopping, dining and other tourism activities. Economic benefit to this event is estimated to be $6-$12M.
A host of volunteers, along with the City of Penticton and the SOEC were successful in conducting a previous Curling Canada event, the 2013 Continental Cup and demonstrated that the facilities, services and volunteer base were excellent and well positioned to host a bigger event, like the Scotties.
To show it has the support of curling fans, the committee has set a goal of collecting 1,000 deposits of $100 each on full event tickets, for the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, before June 20.
A strong response, over the next 6 weeks, will greatly increase the chance of a successful bid. Orders can be placed at Valley First Box office at the SOEC, via phone at 1-877-SOEC.TIX (250-763-2849) or ValleyFirstTix.com. Additional information on the event can be viewed at www.rockthebid.com.

The country’s best women’s curling teams will not only be chasing a Canadian championship, they’ll also be playing under a new format at the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Penticton, B.C.
The Canadian women’s curling championship is scheduled for Jan. 27-Feb. 4 at the South Okanagan Events Centre, and will feature, for the first time, a 16-team field.
The action off the ice in Penticton in 2018 will be just as hot, as the rollicking party known as the HeartStop Lounge will be right next door to the arena at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. Along with the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the athletes, the HeartStop Lounge will offer live music, dancing, drinks, and food, as well as interactive activities for the entire family.
All 14 Member Associations (10 provinces, three territories and Northern Ontario) will be represented in the main field in Penticton, as the pre-qualifying process will end at the 2017 Scotties in St. Catharines. Additionally, the defending champion Team Canada will be in the field, while the process to determine the 16th entry will be decided at a later date.
The 16 teams will be split into two pools for the first phase of round-robin play, with the top four teams from each pool then advancing to a crossover championship pool. From there, four teams will go into the familiar Page playoff round.
The winning team at the 2018 Scotties will represent Canada at the 2018 Ford World Women’s Curling Championship in North Bay, Ont.

Dallas Smith with special guests Michael Ray and Lauren Alaina
2017-11-17 19:00
Platinum selling country star and 604 Records recording artist, Dallas Smith, is pleased to announce the 2017 “Side Effects Tour”, presented by Old Camp Whiskey will be stopping at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton on Friday, November 17th. The national tour will be kicking off in Halifax on October 12th and will make stops in 26 cities across the country before wrapping in Abbotsford on November 18th. Special guests, Lauren Alaina and Michael Ray, will join Smith in Penticton this upcoming November. The “Side Effects Tour” announcement comes on the heels of Smith’s fourth #1 single at Canadian country radio with “Sky Stays This Blue”, a first for a Canadian male country artist.
Appealing to audiences far beyond the boundaries with sonic layers and a stadium sized voice, Smith not only celebrates his fourth #1 single at Country radio in Canada, but becomes the first Canadian artist in both the Nielsen BDS and Mediabase era to have three consecutive #1 singles and the first Canadian country artist to have three #1 singles from the same album (Side Effects).
Smith’s top-selling album “Side Effects” – released one year ago and produced by studio ace and long-time collaborator Joey Moi (Florida Georgia Line) – features 12 tracks, including the albums first #1 single “Autograph” (the only #1 track from a Canadian Country artist in 2016) and the #1 hit “Side Effects”. The album showcases Smith’s incredible artistry and confirms he’s in his own lane – earning critical acclaim, commercial success and one of the most talked about journeys in Canadian country music.
Currently nominated for four Canadian Country Music Association Awards including Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Album of the Year and the Apple Music Fans’ Choice Award, Smith will take the stage for what will surely be another memorable performance when the CCMA Awards show hits Saskatoon on September 10th.
