Continued from Page 8
The Manitoba Room will be the place for hungry fairgoers to gather to take their pick from a variety of food trucks, and will also feature carnival rides and the Manitoba Hydro Entertain- ment Stage. Further children’s entertainment can be found on the Shur Gro Farm Services Stage in the Keystone Centre Am- phitheatre. Local artist Weimeing Zhao, who has spent his career creat- ing artwork that reflects the ever-changing scenery of western Manitoba, will be at the fair this year exhibiting pieces he paint- ed at last year’s fair. He donated the pieces to the Provincial Ex- hibition of Manitoba for them to put on display during the fair. For tickets to this year’s fair, visit provincialexhibition.com.
