We are now less than two months away from the start of the 2024 Manitoba Summer Games in Dauphin and surrounding area.
And with that, organizers are finalizing details that they hope will make these games the best ever.
Games co-chair Carla Wolfenden says with the event coming up so quickly, they are now working on the smaller details that are going to make these games so exciting.
"At a recent executive meeting, we put down names for our torch bearers relay project which we are starting shortly. Those details are the things that really get me excited because it makes it more real. We are now not only just in the big picture planning but also the small details."
Dauphin was originally set to host the 2020 Manitoba Summer Game, but that event was canceled due to the pandemic.
Games co-chair Clayton Swanton says their board is committed to making these games the best that they can.
"While also leaving the biggest legacy that we can out of these games. We only host them once in a generation, and this is our opportunity to put the spotlight on Dauphin and we are all very excited about that. And we are all so thankful for the sponsors that have stepped up so far."
Swanton says he and Wolfenden will be visiting businesses in the coming weeks in hopes of finishing up their sponsorships for the August 11-17 event.
