Show us your summer

The September long weekend is looking like a busy one in the Southeast.

The weekend fun kicks off with Dawson Trail Days on Friday with the Family Sock Hop at the Ste. Anne Curling Club. On Saturday, September 2, the day begins with a pancake breakfast at the fire hall and then moves to Redemptoriste Park with entertainment, petting zoo, carnival games and more.

Saturday night in Ste. Anne wraps up with a Teen Glow In The Dark Dance and Fireworks around 10PM.

The thrill of the summer season will come to an epic conclusion at Steinbach Trailers and RV today, Thursday, August 31.

Throughout the summer months, our readers and radio station listeners have been striving to get their hands on a Golden Ticket.

The Kleefeld Park was buzzing with entertainment and community gatherings all Saturday long. 

The 53rd annual Kleefeld Honey Festival was packed with a variety of activities for all in attendance.

Families and individuals packed the bleachers at Marchand Park for the Marchand Logging Day on Saturday.  

The morning's main event was go-cart races with the competitors of the St. Labre 200. It was an eventful handful of races filled with entertainment, laughs and cheers.

Despite not being hockey season yet, the St. Malo Arena was buzzing on Friday evening.  

The St. Malo Summer Fun Day and Arena Renovation Fundraiser was organized by the Rat River Recreation Commission and offered activities like face painting, horse-drawn wagon rides and more.
