Over the decades, the Rotary Park (Park Lake) dam has washed out a few times during spring flooding. This photo is from a long time ago as the Beautiful Plains Ag Society grandstand is seen in the distance and it has been gone for many years.

Fifteen rural telephone lines were put out of order and many severely damaged during the sleet storm over the weekend. The lines affected mostly were those north and northeast of Neepawa and some west of Eden. Crews were hindered in their repair work by roads blocked with snow. As new poles had been set up in most of the area covered by the storm, the greater part of the damage was broken wires. In some instances the ice had formed an inch thick on them. The storm also blocked roads between here and Portage la Prairie. A snow plow, however, was expected to come through from the east Monday or today.
