The Carlyle Pharmasave celebrated with beef on a bun and an outdoor picnic for its 20th anniversary.

CARLYLE - The Carlyle Pharmasave has been a staple business in the town for 20 years.

Steven and Jolyn Schultz celebrated the milestone on July 28, which was the exact day they began many years ago.

Schultz was raised in Crossfield, Alta., 50 kilometers northwest of Calgary. Jolyn was raised northwest of Carlyle.

Schultz took a job in Daughin, Man., as a sports broadcaster and Jolyn went to be a pharmacist.

This is where they met and were married before returning to Carlyle.

They have two daughters, Kendra, who is attending the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and Kassidy, who is in Grade 12 and works at her parents' store.

The store was built in 2002. The Schultzs' ran the store and over time purchased it. It is located at the south end of Main Street.

During the 20th anniversary bash, Weir’s Catering prepared the meal of beef on a bun, salads and beans, while Schultzs paid for the meal. This was their way of thanking the community for their support.

A donation jar was on the table and these proceeds would go to the Community Complex Foundation. This jar, through some generous donations, raised $12,000.

Outside the doors of the business was a free raffle draw for those that attended the picnic.

Picnic tables were set up outside the store on the boulevard, and anyone could attend the event and enjoy a meal. The tables were filled most of the time.

Carlyle Pharmasave has four pharmacists, two technicians, and 12 front-end staff.

Being involved in their community is important to them and it has shown over the years with their many sponsorships for minor hockey and baseball.

Jolyn sponsors the Missoula Children's Theatre at the school, as she feels it is important to keep it going.

The Manor Professional Bull Riders and the Arcola Rodeo have also seen their generosity. They support many local and area organizations.

The store not only has a pharmacy, but also boasts a wide variety of unique gifts, along with makeup, jewelry and children's games.

They have a wide selection of toiletries and of course all the needs in prescriptions and over-the-counter items.

At Christmas they bring in a wide range of cards, wrapping paper and Christmas gift ideas.

With the community supporting them for all these years, they feel it is important to give back, and through the barbecue and donations, they feel this is possible.
