After many entries from the community, we found ourselves the SNUGGLIEST Christmas Sweater!
Everyone -- meet Brian Hayes and his daughter!
He is a teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School. He actually didn't enter the contest himself - his wife did. "It's a bit of a surprise to me, a happy surprise," Hayes said.
We're sure he's thanking his wife right now, since her entry won him the following prizes from our sponsors:
- A one-night stay at Days Inn Regina Airport West
- A $150 Gift Card to KRJ Custom Fabricating
- A Gift Basket
The sweater, or we should say the blazer, that he's wearing, he likes to call it "The Don Cherry". When we called him this morning, Brian was in the middle of a morning workout. "I'm on my bench press. My wife came down and said 'Hey! Guess what?'."
We chatted with Brian a little bit more off the air and he revealed to us that he moved to Estevan from Kindersley 20 years ago to become a teacher. He's grateful that the community welcomed him with open arms. "It's a wonderful place. We're all lucky to have an Estevan," he added.
"Merry Christmas to all my students and [their] families. They're all wonderful. All my wonderful co-workers at Hillcrest School. All my family here in town and just to the wonderful community, who's looked after us and welcomed us."
Thank you to our SNUGGLIEST sponsors who helped make Brian's Christmas a little sweeter:
