Pembina Valley Online

The Holiday Elfie Selfie contest has officially wrapped up, and we’re excited to announce our winner: Congratulations to Verna Guenther, who has won a $2,000 gift certificate to Sawatzky’s Furniture & Appliances!

A big thank you to everyone who submitted a selfie, spreading holiday cheer throughout the Pembina Valley. We received so many fun and festive photos, and it was great to see the community participating in this holiday tradition.

Toys in all their forms —  large or small, bright blue or soft pink, hardy or soft — are a staple during the Christmas season. The joy of receiving a new toy or a fuzzy stuffed companion is not limited to people. It extends to the family’s pets, too.  

At RuffMutts, which has locations in Morden, Altona, and Niverville, one can find a selection of pet toys that is thoughtfully curated to ensure that the personality and preference of each furry family member is represented.  

In the winter months, golf might seem like a distant summer memory. Golfing year-round is usually a fantasy only applicable to warmer climates, but a locally owned business in Winkler is changing that with its new high-level virtual golf experience.  

The holiday season is in full swing, and Pembina Valley residents are spreading the cheer in style! The "Holiday Elfie Selfie" contest is taking the region by storm, giving you the chance to win a $2,000 gift certificate to Sawatzky's Furniture & Appliances.

The spirit of community and appreciation was in full force yesterday as local farmers gathered at Smitty's Lounge for the Harvest Heroes celebration, an event that put a spotlight on the farmers who have contributed so much to the Pembina Valley region. This annual celebration is dedicated to recognizing and honoring the dedication, innovation, and community spirit that local farmers bring to the area.

Green boxes, red lids. This has been a familiar sight to many people in the Pembina Valley during the holiday season for over three decades, even if the design changes now and again. 

The recognizable boxes are a part of Operation Christmas Child, a tradition that benefits givers and receivers alike.  

In the heart of Manitoba's Pembina Valley, the farming community’s dedication goes beyond just tending to fields. This November 13th, we look forward to celebrating our Harvest Heroes -- honoring those who work tirelessly to support and sustain our region. Over the past couple of weeks, we've been inviting the community to recognize the efforts of local farmers whose impact resonates far beyond their farms.

“We’re trying to go back a little bit and see how we can help the community by giving more value.”  

Avi Sandhu owns and operates McDonald’s in Morden and Winkler, two communities that have welcomed him and his business with open arms. He wants to give back.  

Time is ticking, and we need your help to spotlight our community’s most deserving farmers. With Harvest Heroes right around the corner on November 13th at Smitty's Lounge, there’s still a chance to nominate a farmer who’s gone above and beyond to support our region. But we need more entries! Let’s come together to recognize the individuals who dedicate their lives to nurturing our land and growing the food we all rely on.
