Y
ou couldnt have asked
for a better weekend
for Minnedosas Annual
Fun Fest and Summer Fair
than last weekend. Dur-
ing all the events that took
place, you were more likely
to need sunscreen than
an umbrella. People from
all over Manitoba came to
attend this years festivi-
ties. From parades to com-
munity meals and tem-
porary shopping centres,
the weekend was a quite
frankly, a summer blast.
Te Kiddies Parade
was the frst event to kick
of the weekend, flled
with minions, and co-
lourfully decorated bikes,
scooters, and wagons!
Tat night held the Rotary
Clubs annual super and
draw.
Each of the events
that took place during the
weekend were well attend-
ed, including the Lions
Club Pancake Breakfast
early Saturday Morning,
Te Fun Fest Parade, as
well as the Street Market
and Jam in the Park.
