The Yellowhead Roadrunners are always looking for new members with an interest in vehicles of all types. This year, at the club’s 17th annual Runway Drag Races, they are again giving novice racers a chance to test their skills on the track. While there will be some fast cars, the races are open to anyone, all drivers need to do is bring a vehicle, a helmet and be in time for the pre race orientation. Drivers don’t have to be pre-registered; they can register when they get there. The race is coming up on Saturday, July 29 2017 at the Neepawa airport.

Last March, a book launch was held in Winnipeg, the city of writer Lenore Eidse. It is also home to 88-year-old Anje van Tongeren, the subject of her book, The House of Blood and Tears. It is a biography of Anje’s work with the Dutch underground during the Second World War. Anje and her family (husband Dick and daughters Joanne and Freda) lived in Rivers for 25 years. A few weeks ago, a friend of the family who still lives in Rivers, suggested this newspaper inform readers of this important true story. And we agree!

Did you know Carberry’s Main Street has been declared a designated heritage district? The only one in Manitoba I might add! And to celebrate that and the heritage that Carberry and area is so proud of, came to the Heritage Festival! As we head to our fifth festival, we look back at our previous festivals and enjoy the fact that every year we have managed to grow!
