It was a beautiful day in Landmark for their annual Friendship Festival and lots was happening.  

They had a softball tournament, food trucks, vendor village, and so many activities for the kids including a magic show, face painting, bouncy castles, foam party, and more. 

Amanda Reimer, event coordinator says that she was in grade 9 when her classmate chose the name ‘Friendship Festival’, and she thought it was the perfect name. 

After much work and planning, the Country Truckin’ charity concert went on tonight and was a huge success.  

Many came out to Blumenort to enjoy the auction, truck show, food, live music, and most importantly, to support three incredible charities. 

Live performances from Doc Walker, The Coveralls, Emma Peterson, Jaryn Friesen, and Young & Haggard had the crowd dancing all night long.

The warm weather didn’t stop car enthusiasts from entering the contest and people coming to enjoy the museum’s grounds while admiring the cars. 

Robert Goertzen, Interim Executive Director and Program Manager at MHV says it’s something different and exciting that the museum hosts every year.
