We are prairie proud here in Manitoba! So proud, just ask us? And we are distinctly from Manitoba, and we are know for_________, fill in the bank! On the Fusion Credit Union Text line this morning, we asked you, our loyal listeners, that very question, and the answers were pure “Toba.
Anon says we are known for Slurpee’s. Heck ya, Wpg’s 7-Eleven is known as the Slurpee capital of the world, ya know it’s summer when you get a brain freeze from guzzling that first sip of your ice blue Slurpee! You know you are from Manitoba if you have experienced a social, like the one in say, my hometown of Baldur, where there was a little”throwing of the meat on the shoulder” drinking game-okay it was a wiener toss-who am I kidding! You know you are from Manitoba when the mosquitos are the size of hummingbirds! Or experiencing winter, spring and summer all in one day! Remember the old “Friendly Manitoba” license plates? I miss those, it truly was a Manitoba thing, a proud Manitoba thing. I could go on forever, you know why you live, and work and play in Manitoba, because we can, and ah….those magical sunrises and spectacular sunsets, the icing on our proverbial Manitoba cake!
Cheers and Happy Thursday,
Shelly and Tim
