It’s an exciting weekend in Carberry during the communities’ fair and races.

Alex Christison, a director with the Carberry Ag Society, shares with us one of the highlights for the weekend.

“It’s teams of men and women, and it’s a timed event. Who can pull an empty potato truck 150 feet the fastest."

"Some of these teams come from all over Manitoba and they train all year for this potato truck pull. So it’s become a very large event of our fair.”

“It started three years ago with a young family that had a young fella who had juvenile cancer. The community got behind it to raise money for cancer care.”

They raised over 100,000 dollars in 2017 which Christison calls their best year. Christison says they know for sure they will pass that this year.

Some of the other attractions include wagon rides, horse shows, beef shows, barrel racing, and so much more.

It’s 12 dollars for the weekend or 7 dollars per day, students are only 5 dollars a day or 8 for the weekend.
