The Royal Manitoba Winter Fair Returns to the Key Stone Center In Brandon for its 54th year.

Event director Mark Humphries says the event has been around a lot longer under a different name.

"1906 was the first Manitoba Winter Fair, obviously after the royal status, that changed its title so it's been going for a heck of a long time. you know, our history dates back to the late 1800s when the Dominion Fair came to town, and that's where its origins as an agricultural fair began"

This Annual Fair features tons of horse shows, agricultural sales and displays,  Ag education, and entertainment.

The Theme for the years is "Take The Leap", and Humphries describes it.

"It's a leap year of course, and full of leaping horses every day. so come and take the leap, come down to see us. The doors and the welcome are as open as ever."

And Humphries is always happy to have some extra hands to help out.

"Yeah, we never close the doors to volunteers. We're always open to new faces and new ideas. You can go to the website which is provincialexhibition.com and there is a page there for volunteers to sign up to."
