Woodridge had its 3rd annual ‘Car Show on the Ridge’ on Sunday, May 26. The original date was planned for Saturday, but due to weather conditions, it was decided to have it the following day.  

It was a beautiful day to be outside and see some awesome cars, trucks, semis, and so much more. From new to old they had it all, and every single one was unique. 

Cars, trucks, bikes, and more at the 2024 Car Show on the Ridge in Woodridge, MB.  

The Woodridge community is hosting the 3rd annual car show on Sunday, May 26, and we are so excited to be there. 

Funds from the car show will be donated to Woodridge Community Club and the Woodridge Firefighters Association. 

Rachel Lachnit speaks about the previous car show. 

It was the perfect day to be outside and community members of all ages met at E.A. Friesen Park for a fun bike ride.  

LaBikequerie and Strong Towns joined forces to put on a fun, monthly outing for the community during the summer months. 

Wade Wiebe, a member of both groups, speaks about their goal and why Strong Towns has decided to put on this event.  

On Sunday, May 19, we will be at the Family Bike Jam, hosted by Strong Towns Steinbach. 

The ride begins at E.A. Friesen Park and will start at 3pm for approximately two hours. 

One of the organizers, Wade Wiebe says, “We organize it to get folks off their screens and it’s a great excuse to get outside with your family.”

The community gathered to celebrate Manitoba’s 154th birthday at the Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) on Saturday, May 11.  

The day began with planting a pansy for mom, hosted by the Steinbach and Area Garden Club.  

Greetings from the program manager, Robert Goertzen took place in the Pavilion. MP Ted Falk, MLA Kelvin Goertzen, and Mayor Earl Funk shared stories of their family coming to Manitoba and the importance of celebrating Manitoba’s Birthday in Steinbach.  

Community members from southeast Manitoba and beyond welcomed fall at the Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) on the September long weekend. 

The annual Fall on the Farm festival returned with demonstrations, activities, food and live entertainment. Executive Director Gary Dyck says they host the event as it allows learning and improves “well-being.”  

Festivities in every direction were the scenes in Ste. Anne during the September long weekend.  

The annual Dawson Trail Days took place at Redemptoriste Park from Friday, September 1, to Saturday, September 2. Ste. Anne’s Recreational Services Manager, Sarah Normandeau, says they “couldn’t ask for a better day.”  

Wendy’s Show Us Your Summer ended Thursday with a significant win at Steinbach Trailers and RV.
