Beeff and Barley Festival Reflections From Russell Horticultural Society
Yesteryear notes recall the Russell Horticultural Society's Beef and Barley Festival involvement in the 1970s. Members made dried flower arrangements, loaded pumpkins for weighing, and sold pies and beverages. Rising table rental costs ended the effort, with the Chamber of Commerce favoring larger groups.

Manitoba oil patch sees banner year with 65 percent drilling rise
Industry ministers report nine month total of 85 wells drilled in Manitoba versus 57 all of 1996. Production averages 1710 cubic metres daily, up four percent from last year. Crown lease sales yield nearly 5.7 million, a record. A new Can Am Drilling rig in Steinbach signals growth and more jobs while new discoveries at Birdtail and South Pipestone boost prospects. Horizontal wells make up about a quarter of 1997 activity.
