Beef & Barley Days sees mixed crowds in Russell
Beff Days turnout in Russell during Thanksgiving weekend drew about 125 spectators, short of last year’s 300, with one act canceled due to car trouble for Winnipeg ventriloquist Gavin Rich. The event also featured a Bingo Derby that failed to draw shoppers, a Saturday arena trade show with 47 displays, and a five-vehicle car rally finishing amid challenges. First prize went to the Russell team of Jamie Robert, Donna Roberts, and Dave Burrows.
