Royal Manitoba Winter Fair

3 MARCH 2022 • WINTER FAIR • THE BRANDON SUN Welcome back to the fair www.aats.ca 204-729-8989 • BRANDON, MB Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba president Kathy Cleaver Thank you, to every person and every business that has stuck with us through two years of shutdowns. Thank you for supporting the smaller fundraisers that have kept the doors open and allowed us to keep our fi- nancial obligations met. We were able to host drive through breakfasts, a summer fair drive-in movie night, and Midway Madness in September, all were a financial boost for us. In the fall our intrepid cattle direc- tor Dallas Johnston pushed to host Ag EX, which was well attended by cattle producers, also hungry for the showring and the camaraderie that agriculture shows bring and proved that people are ready to get out and gather as a community. We are feverishly planning the Roy- al Manitoba Winter Fair, and while we are excited to be hosting this fair live and in person, we are also very aware of the obligation to ensure a safe environment for our patrons. Be assured that we will follow the Man- itoba health recommendations and we encourage all to practice the basic fundamentals. We have always had a strong bio security protocol for the animals, we will extend that diligence to all of our public areas with hand wash stations and regular cleaning in all areas. The provincial Exhibition of Man- itoba and the events that they pro- duce have a proven track record of significantly boosting the economy in Brandon, hotels, restaurants, our partner the Keystone Centre and all of businesses in Brandon could use this much needed shot in the arm! On behalf of our directors and staff I welcome you back to the 2022 Roy- al Manitoba winter fair. We look for- ward to seeing you in person! Kathy Cleaver President
