MARCH 27 — APRIL 1, 2017 • ROYAL MANITOBA WINTER FAIR • THE BRANDON SUN 7

Fair brings farm life to the city

On behalf of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba and the organizing committee,
we welcome patrons, exhibitors and sponsors to our 110th Royal Manitoba Winter
Fair. We are proud to kick off a year of celebration across Canada: 2017 is Canada’s
150th anniversary, and the 135th year for the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba and
the City of Brandon.
The Royal Manitoba Winter Fair brings farm life to the city and connects you directly
to food production and the agriculture industry, an important part of the Canadian
economy. The City of Brandon and the Provincial Exhibition worked hard to bring
the Keystone Centre to western Manitoba. It is an ideal facility to host the fair and
showcase agriculture, culture, sport and business excellence.
We are proud to honour Canadian history with the appearance of Lord Strathcona’s
Horse Mounted Troop from the Canadian Armed Forces this year. Lord Strathcona Wayne Buhr
came to Canada as a fur trader, rose through the Hudson’s Bay Company, moved west
to help establish Manitoba, and later became chair of the oldest bank in Canada.
The equestrian events at the Winter Fair are world-class and we are honoured to
have such high calibre of exhibitors join us every year. These athletes have worked
hard to reach this level of competition and provide excellent entertainment for all
ages.
Thank you to our sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and you, our patrons, for making
this event possible. See you at the Fair, March 27 through April 1.
