If you're heading up north this weekend, a stop in The Pas would be a great idea.
The Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival is underway after the opening ceremonies and it will run until Sunday. Premier Heather Stefanson was in attendance for the ceremonies, marking the first time in more than a dozen years that Manitoba's premier has taken part in the festivities.
And as the event rolls on, organizers have received a generous boost as the Manitoba government has provided the festival with $25,000.00.
Dog-sled racing and trapping skills competitions are featured during the festival, which attracts up to 5000 people over the five days.
