March is the perfect time to start planning out your “stay-cations” for the summer, and Central Manitoba Tourism (CMT) has just the thing to help you figure out where to go.
The agency hosts the first annual Prairie Connect event at the Access Event Centre in Morden on Saturday, March 28.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day, municipalities, businesses, and community organizations from across CMT’s service network will have exhibits set up to highlight all there is to see and do in our area.
“We have over 20 signed up, and there’s still some registrations coming in,” CMT general manager June Letkeman shared last week.
“I really want people to come and enjoy the day and see what we all have in our area, because we have so many hidden gems that people don’t know about,” she said of the myriad of museums, galleries, festivals, and recreational offerings that span the region. “I want them to see what we all have in our catchment area … come plan out your summer.”
It’s very much a come and go type of event, though the Beerjammers will be taking the stage at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. There will also be food available around midday. Admission is free.
“Come and have a look to see what we all have to promote in our area,” Letkeman urged.
