Teams of two fundraise for The Lung Association Manitoba to earn their place at the start line on Saturday, Oct. 24 at The Town Centre, Brandon. Teams solve clues to find 12 pit stops around the city to complete fun and zany challenges. The first team back wins! But it won’t be that easy! There are bump cards, detours and U-turns along the way to keep it interesting. You don’t have to be an athlete – the challenges are meant to be fun.

Until the federal election on October 19th, the Neepawa Banner will be talking to the candidates about the issues that matter to local voters. This week we begin with the candidate profiles. Check back as we ask the candidates for their views on a new topic each week.
