The Rural Forum





The rural forum is a good place to meet interesting people, and a good place to learn more about Manitoba.

This year's high school Youth Business Award winners were students from Reston (top photo). Congratulations to all the students who participated.

The featured entertainer on Friday night was Alana Levandoski (second photo). Well done Alana!

Economic Development and Tourism from Dauphin were featuring their festivals and their Red River Cart (third photo).

Heartland Books were there with their books, which include Battling for a Better Manitoba. In the bottom photo, I am standing with Peter St. John, of Heartland in front of the display.

By the way, if you go to page 38, of Battling for a Better Manitoba you will see the story of the building of the rail line to Dauphin in 1896, and how this 100 miles of track was a critical point in the development of the CNR.
