The Northern Manitoba Trapper’s Festival (NMTF) brings in government dignitaries on various levels and this year was no different. Some of the dignitaries are long-standing attenders of the festival and for some, it was their first time experiencing what the NMTF had to offer.
“This was my first year at the Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival and it was awesome,” said Manitoba Progressive Conservative Leader Obby Khan. “All the people there were so welcoming and there was an energy and a buzz when you drove into The Pas, right from the Opening Ceremony.
“I would have to say my highlight for the Trappers’ Festival was taking part in the Torchlite Parade and handing out candy in the freezing cold, to hundreds of happy kids. My other highlight was watching the dog sled races.
