The community of Watrous is hoping to raise $150,000 for a new Zamboni.

They recently got a great start as Richardson Pioneer donated $25,000 towards the cause.

Recreation Director Taya Tokarski provides more information.

"The one is kind of breaking down, I think it's a 1985 model so it's time to start looking at a brand new one. It was a great donation from Richardson Pioneer, I'm amazed by their donation and very thankful for it."

Tokarski says they do have a long ways to go but this is a great start.
