No Decision Yet On Manitoba Ag Days 2021

No decision has been made yet regarding next year's Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon, which is scheduled for January 19-21.
 
"I think it's still really early in the process," said General Manager Kristen Phillips. "I think a lot of people are learning and still trying to figure out what the long term plan is. Obviously, we are talking several different contingency plans but at this point we are looking forward to having a show.'
 
Phillips noted the planning group held a meeting last week.
 
"The number one thing we talk about is the safety of patrons and our exhibitors as well as obviously the staff and volunteers and keeping the staff at the Keystone Centre safe," she said. "Really thinking about how we could do a socially distant show and still make it work for everyone."
 
Last week, we heard that CropConnect 2021 was cancelled due to COVID-19. The conference was scheduled to take place in Winnipeg in February.
