MacGregor hosts lively first bell tournament and nuptial pair
The MacGregor first bell baseball event drew six teams including Sidney, Neepawa, Carberry and Austin with Neepawa taking the title after a final win over Carberry. A girls softball final saw Austin prevail over the Olympians. The men’s fastball yielded seven entrants with Portage and others advancing before final rounds. The Memorial Hall booth activity boosted funds by over 212.00, while the board announced staff changes and half the heating plan debate without final decision. A wedding in Portage la Prairie united Mabel Yvonne Sheard and Horace Victor Thomas, attended by relatives from Pratt and Winnipeg, with reception at MacGregor. Their future home will be in MacGregor.

Crops Advancing To Ripening Stage Here
