This year's list of nominees at the Manitoba Country Music Awards was packed with local talent, and some of the featured artists and groups walked away with trophies in hand.
Dauphin's own Kates Outlaw took home the Album of the Year award, for their May release Echo of the Engines.
JR Charron from Binscarth took home a trio of awards - Video of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Male Artist of the Year - the most by a single artist this year.
Mitchell Makoons won this year's Indigenous Artist of the Year Award. Though he's from Brandon, he has strong family roots in Kinosota, and is part of the Campbell family.
Last but not least, there was a very special presentation and Impact Award for Rob Waloschuk from Performance Promotions. Rob is heavily involved in Dauphin’s Countryfest and has been instrumental in its ongoing success right from day one.
