Beef and Barley Festival May Be Ending in Russell
Russell faces dwindling attendance and volunteer interest threatening a possible 23rd Beef and Barley Festival on Thanksgiving weekend 1995. A small workshop failed to recruit a replacement chairperson and Chamber efforts have not spurred action. Meanwhile, other Manitoba notices report a MacGregor man pleading not guilty to child abandonment charges, a Pine Falls mill turnover and spill fines, and Cory Delaquis, a 13 year old with Hodgkin's disease receiving strong community support including hair shaving from his hockey team and residents.
