A presentation about Morden's History through murals and benches brought several people out to the Morden Activity Centre on Wednesday afternoon to learn about the community.

There is a flurry of things to think about during wedding planning. Which venue? Guest list? Flowers? It’s an endless list of items to check off. In Manitoba, however, before all that, there is an event that asks a different set of questions: What type of pickles should we set out? How many rolls of tickets will we need? How far into the night will Aunt Tina start line dancing this time? 

These are the questions one asks before the wedding social, a distinctly Manitoban tradition.
