Passing by It’s Time Fashion & Gifts in Neepawa, you may notice something odd on display in the windows. Old wooden chairs, painted and redone, sit among the mannequins and clothes that are typically the sole occupants of the space.

The Whitemud Growing Project has officially started harvesting. The project is a grassroots fundraising endeavour to raise money for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank to help the hungry overseas. The project is run by a committee of farmers from the Neepawa, Arden, Plumas and Gladstone areas and involves volunteer companies and farmers who want to help with the project’s crops or donate some of their own crops.
