With the Manitoba Summer Games now less than 3 months away, organizers are hoping to paint the town in Games Gear leading up to the August 11th to 17th event.
This past Friday was the first Games Gear Friday in Dauphin, as businesses are encouraged to have their employees dress in gameswear on Fridays between now and the start of the event.
Host committee co-chair Carla Wolfenden says the next deadline to order games gear is May 27th, if you hope to have your gear by mid-June.
"We really encourage all businesses to order that stuff for their staff and maybe help them out or pay for it in full. We just want to create that excitement around town and we thought that would be a great way to do it."
Wolfenden adds there is a great selection of clothing to choose from.
"There is hoodies, crewnecks, t-shirts, golf shirts. We are pretty sure there is something for everyone and at every price point. And every item sold, it is a fundraiser so it does help our bottom line with every piece of merchandise that people buy."
