The Lily Festival in Neepawa





Neepawa is now the world Lily Capital. The Lily Festival this weekend features lots of lillies (top two photos), much entertainment (including Doc Walker tonight), many excellent restaurants in Neepawa - like the Prairie Seasons Bakery and Restaurant run by Rhoda Medina (second from bottom), and booths selling a variety of interesting wares ( like Strokes by U - bottom photo). Julie King and Elvira Tanner with Strokes by U specialize in decorative gifts (for more see www.strokesbyu.com)

This year is the tenth anniversary of the Lily Festival. My congratulations to the organizers and all the volunteers. This year featured a tribute to the War Brides.
