Hoof N Holler days is back in Ste. Rose this weekend, with a full event for the first time in several years. There was a scaled-back event held last year, and Chair Ashley Vandepoele says the community is happy to have it back in full force.
"We have had wonderful reception when it comes to Hoof N Holler Days. We've had tons of messages, people asking questions, and engaged, so I think people are excited to have it back in full force. Even before COVID hit we had some tough years with some ice storms and snow storms, so we're excited to have a full schedule planned."
Vandepoele says they have added some new events this year for people to look forward to.
"We have never had a partnership before with Manitoba Theatre for Young People, so we have some acting classes that are being offered for free for our youth, both ages five to eight, and nine to twelve on Friday evening, so that is something that is brand new. And if there is anything else that we would highlight as being brand new, it would be that we had a partnership with healthy together now, and we decided to do a pumpkin and sunflower judging contest for people growing the biggest pumpkin and tallest sunflowers."
CKDM's Al Gains will be broadcasting live from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. tomorrow at Sunrise Credit Union, while Jackson Cornelson and the CKDM Cruiser will be in the Parade on Saturday at 10 a.m.
