Winkler is set to embrace its country roots as Smitty’s Lounge gears up for a high-energy Country Night this Saturday. With country tunes, themed drinks, and the highlight of the night—a mechanical bull—this event promises excitement for all.

A new spin on Winkler’s nightlife

Angelina Fehr, owner of Smitty’s Lounge in Winkler shares the inspiration behind the event, which started as an idea from Aiden Friesen.

It's time for another Made in Manitoba, and we're welcoming back a long-time friend Winnipeg's Don Amero. He's joining us ahead of the release of his new EP "Broken Record: Part 1 - Heart", and with a title like that there seems to be a promise the music and lyrics will hit you right in the heart.

The Carman Cougars went into the playoffs on a hot streak and the good times have continued with the group grabbing 1-0 series lead over Morris with game two looming on Friday night.

“Once there was a man who lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs . . . very good hot dogs.”  

Authorities say there is no threat to the public following social media reports of an early morning police presence in Roland.
    
According to photos posted online, several RCMP vehicles were posted outside of a home in the community around 6:30 a.m., followed by loud bangs.

Information provided to PembinaValleyOnline by the Morden Police Service noted the incident is part of an investigation in conjunction with the Winkler Police Service, with assistance from Pembina Valley RCMP. 
    
More information is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
