Another great Ducks Unlimited Canada event was held in Neepawa on Nov. 19. The committee decided that for this year, there was a need to move to a larger venue in hopes of attracting more people. It worked, as there were close to 200 attendees at the Yellowhead Centre. The financial numbers are still being calculated but it is expected that the event did even better than last year.

Author Karen Emilson visited the Neepawa Library on Dec. 1, to promote her first work of fiction, Be Still the Water. The story is based loosely on historical events in the Lake Manitoba community of Siglunes. Filled with emotional stories and hardships of the early 20th century, the story is built around an immigrant Icelandic family who struggled to make a new life in a new country.

The Neepawa Figure Skating Club is now in full swing and members are getting ready for the upcoming annual Christmas Ice Show. This season we have 20 StarSkaters who skate Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays with coaches Cynthia Chartrand and Kim Smith. Our season has started off strong with a fabulous skate from Zoie Forgue at the Manitoba Sectional Skating Championships in November in Morden with a fifth place finish. The rest of the StarSkaters are hoping that the ice show will help them get the “jitters” out before their first competition of the season, in Virden at the beginning of January.
