This year’s Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival’s (NMTF) Queen Trapper is no stranger to the event. Clarissa Burns was crowned as 2023 Queen Trapper and she has been competing in events at the festival since she was a teen. She rarely misses an opportunity to come out to NMTF.
“Although I reside in Prince Albert right now, I am originally from The Pas, so I have been to Trappers’ Festival as far back as I can remember,” said Burns. “I would say roughly 30 years I have been to Trapper's Festival. I have been competing in NMTF since I was a teenager, around 13 and 14 years old, in the Junior Queen Trapper events.
