2026 • WINTER FAIR • THE BRANDON SUN
All Show Jumping events will take place in the main arena. The pumped-up thrills of show jumping will then give way to the amped-up thrills of mounted shooting. The Mounted Shooters are back at the fair by audience demand! Bold riders zip around the arena showing off daring horsemanship, an eagle eye and a steady hand while firing specialized blank rounds at balloons. It’s a high calibre callback to the wild, wild west! More thrills abound with Thrillstar Entertainment’s hypnotist Wayne Lee. Lee is an award winning en- tertainer, peak performance expert, and hall of fame speaker. He says the audience can expect the unexpect- ed. They can see the show — or be the show. “The show is filled with music and animated routines that are interactive, fascinating and funny,” Lee says. “It also highlights how powerful our mind is to create limitless possibilities.” Fairgoers who are unfamiliar with hypnosis might be a little hesitant, but Lee says there is nothing to fear. And in fact, there are benefits to joining the fun onstage. “One hour of hypnosis feels like an eight-hour sleep. You’ll have an amazing sleep that night,” he says. “And all of the volunteers will receive a suggestion to help them achieve a goal!”
Coming from Edmonton, this is Lee’s first appearance at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair and he is ‘ready-to-wow.’ “To me it means getting people engaged, excited and ultimately entertained. I get excited to see all the smiles and laughter.” Lots of laughter will be in the fair air when Doodles the Clown and his red-nosed shenanigans arrive. An inter- national audience favourite, Doodles has spent 30-plus years bringing his own brand of joyful buffoonery — and thousands and thousands of balloons — to kids and kids-at-heart at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair. It will be a really big shoe — or rather — show full of happy hi-jinx and it takes place in the Keystone Centre’s Ampitheatre. When you think of clowns, you might also think of the circus. And maybe even circus dogs? The Canine Circus is in the ring with its adorable crew of rescue pooches! A Canadian touring sensation and one-of-a-kind show, Canine Circus features more than 20 talented dogs and their very well-trained human pals. Audiences should prepare to be dazzled with four-legged stunts, tail-wag- ging illusions, and amazing vanishing tricks and reveals in the main arena and the Ag Action Stage daily. And Dogs Do Magic in the Ampitheatre as well. Don’t miss a single show! Check the schedules for all showtimes and locations and be sure to catch all the thrills, laughs, and tricks this year.
