Several local projects have been named recipients of Manitoba Ag Days Gives Back Community Grants.
Ag Days General Manager Kristin Phillips says fifty thousand dollars is being put back into rural Manitoba thanks to a strong year.
"All of the proceeds from our 50/50 draw, as well as any profit that the show makes, goes back to our Ag Days Gives Back program. Last year we had a very successful 50/50 with the prize being just under 35-thousand dollars."
Among the groups receiving two thousand dollars each are Mossey River Municipality, Hoof N Holler Days, Glenella Curling Rink, Ste Rose Recreation Commission, Erickson District Recreation Association, and Neepawa and Area Fire Department.
