A barbecue competition playing off the Morden and Winkler rivalry will be to the benefit of the Pembina Valley Humane Society.
Dubbed Friendly Flames, the Highway 3.14 barbecue competition sponsored by Rendezvous and set for Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Suncatch Plaza in Morden will pit a chef from Winkler against one from Morden.
Chefs Ryan Wiebe from Morden and Colin Fehr from Winkler will compete to see who gets the most votes for the best ribs. Wiebe’s sauce will use Rendezvous brews while Fehr’s sauce will use Blumstein brews.
“It’s a new event to kind of refresh what we do,” said humane society fundraising chairperson Caitlin Parr. “It’s just a fun Morden and Winkler competition, and people will have the opportunity to vote on which they think was the best, and we will have a judging panel too.”

“It should be a really fun evening. We’re really looking forward to it,” said Parr. “We have lots of great local support for it. We’re hoping people get excited about it.”
The humane society is always looking for ideas for fundraising, as it is of primary importance to the organization.
“It’s huge for us, and everyone has been outrageously supportive and helpful throughout the whole planning process, and it’s great to collaborate with them,” Parr said. “Our fundraisers are our number one revenue stream to help keep our doors open and help us to help out the community.”
Tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for kids. Book yours online at pvhsociety.ca or by stopping by the Morden animal shelter or Rendezvous.
