The Transportation through the Ages Parade at MacGregor, Manitoba and the

This morning in MacGregor, the Transportation through the Ages Parade was the highlight (top two photos).

I had a chance to meet members of the Rodgers family who farm northeast of MacGregor, and to chat with Robert and Velma and with Brian. I learned about the care and attention they have paid to their farm over many years since the farm was started by Charles Rodgers (father of Robert and Brian) in the 1930s. Today their 1538 acre farm grows wheat, oats, barley, soybeans, canola, corn and navy beans, and they raise 16,000 hogs earch year and have 120- head of cattle. Congratulations to all the Rodgers family. In the middle photo, I am shown with Brian Rodgers.

Before the parade, the Blue Planet Gypsies seranaded the crowd during the pancake breakfast (Fourth photo). Fifty pots of plants hanging around town provided extra colour. Congratulations to all the volunteers who made this such a success.
