It started on Day 1 of the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair with the Sunrise Credit Union Breakfast kick off at the historic Dome Building on Monday March 25, 20024. I had the good fortune of broadcasting live on The New Q Mornings with Tim and Shelly. I met so many people that shared with me, their real Royal Manitoba Winter Fair stories. I met a Wpg family of 2 sisters that bring with them, the very first picture their Mother took of them at the Fair when they were just toddlers, fast forward 20-years later, they are still celebrating Fair week here in Brandon, but this time with their kids, and their kid’s Grandmother! It’s a tradition they have continued for years! I asked them what their favorite part of the Fair is, their reply, “everything”! Psd. Ther photo is adorable!
Day 2 broadcasting live at our Q Country 91-5 booth, I met more real people sharing real fair stories. Like Karen and her Husband from Rivers, who have not missed a Royal Manitoba Winter Fair in over 40-years! They love the horses and spend most of their week in the main arena, watching the show! I love this!
Day 3 I met The King family from Lanore, Mb, who are horse farmers, they brought their 3 kids, and Grandma too!! I was sporting a nice cowboy hat, and wanted to trade cowboy hats, to see, “Who wore it Better”..what a sport Derek was, he traded with me his cowboy hat, on a TikTok video, and listeners weighed in. Yes, I have to agree, Derek wore it better, he was a great sport about it too!!
Day 4 of the Royal is “Forever Royal day”, which celebrates our royal designation made by Queen Elizabeth July 11th, 1970.
See you at the Fair!
Cheers Tim and Shelly
