We won’t be seeing a traditional Manitoba Ag Days show in 2021.
In a release put out Monday morning, organizers of the event at the Keystone Centre in Brandon say its board of directors made the difficult decision to not proceed with the event in the interest of the safety and well-being of all involved.
The board of directors of Manitoba Ag Days has made the very difficult decision that a traditional show is not possible in January of 2021. For now, we will help create a healthier society, so that when it is safe to do so we can be back together again, stronger than ever! pic.twitter.com/fmpiOxzRQ2

General manager of Manitoba Ag Days, Kristen Philips, says you can expect to see some announcements in the near future about “non-traditional” Ag Days events happening in light of the cancellation.
“We are definitely pursuing non-traditional elements. We are going to work with our exhibitors to create those opportunities — and hope to roll them out shortly,” Phillips said.
The general manager adds that the public can stay tuned to their social media platforms for the latest information about future events.
