Rossburn festival preview and local notes 1986
The Rossburn Review reports a sunny start to festival week with pancake breakfasts and a packed program. It notes community hopes for a great weekend of fun, parodies, and news from Shoal Lake centers. Highlights include aging residents, farmer memories, and local moves such as Mike Borodie leaving Oakburn for Winnipeg. A Niaga Post Office closure is announced due to losses, while a turtle wins at Boissevain Derby and a large northern pike is caught at Shellmouth Dam. Gerald Keating and Dave McCulloch fly routes around the world, returning from Niagara Falls.
