Show us your summer

With only a few weeks left in August, soak up the sun and festivities around southeast Manitoba this weekend. 

It’s that time of the year. It’s Hanover Ag weekend in Grunthal! It kicks off on Thursday, August 17, and goes until Sunday, August 20. 

From the parade to arm wrestling competitions, many festivities are happening on the grounds all weekend long.  

It's Wendy's Show Us Your Summer all summer long where you can win some great prizes all by sharing photos of what your summer looks like!

Two best friends had the time of their lives earlier this month.  

Vanessa McGregor and Cassandra Siemens attended the Eras Tour in Los Angeles thanks to Lisa Swaikoski, who is McGregor’s cousin. Swaikoski’s name was drawn for Taylor or Trailer contest with Wendy’s Show Us Your Summer. 

To prepare, they gathered their outfits and packed their bags. In true Swiftie fashion, they made friendship bracelets for other concertgoers and also handed them out to people at the airport. They even made bracelets for flight attendants and pilots. 

The Ste. Anne Lions Club hosted their annual car show at Redemptoriste Park in Ste. Anne on Tuesday evening, and many came out to check out the variety of vehicles.  

Robert Gosselin of the Ste. Anne Lions Club says they host the car show to connect the community.  

From wrestling to frog jumping, there was no shortage of activities in St. Pierre on Sunday.  

The three-day St. Pierre Frog Follies and Agricultural Fair happened at Carillon Park this weekend.  

President Roxanne Gagne explains that the origins of their 53-year-old festival were frogs and royalty. 

Rain or shine, the show must go on—and that’s what happened on Saturday’s Richer Rough Stock Rodeo.  

The three-day festival in Richer featured all things rodeo, family fun and community. People of all ages from all over Manitoba and even Saskatchewan came and enjoyed the festivities. 

The bleachers had no empty seats, and the audience was enthusiastic about the show put on for them.  

From Super Mario under the stars to jumping frogs, it is an action-packed weekend for the southeast.  

St. Pierre’s Frog Follies and Agricultural Fair is happening from Thursday, August 10, to Sunday, August 13. President Roxanne Gagne says the four-day festival is “jam-packed with different events,” and with the help of the Ag Society, they can offer more.

For the August long weekend, Steinbach and the surrounding area celebrated the city's history and those who built it into what it is today.  

Thousands of community members and visitors came through the Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) for their three-day Pioneer Days festivities. 

Steinbach is the place to be this weekend, as many festivities are happening for the 55th Annual Pioneer Days Weekend. 

To kick off celebrations, the parade will be back on Steinbach’s Main St., on Friday, August 4. Attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for Southeast Helping Hands’ Tin for the Bin. 

We will give away candy and goodies with Wendy’s, so don’t miss our float! The parade kicks off at 10 AM.
