Enns Bros., the John Deere dealership in Neepawa, has stepped up again this year to spearhead the Neepawa Airport Farming project. The Town of Neepawa rents the farmland around the airport to the project, which is jointly administered by the Neepawa Curling Club (Yellowhead Development Society-YDSI) and the Yellowhead Centre (arena and hall). The two facilities invest some cash each year for crop inputs and crop insurance and then share the profits on a 50/50 basis.

Neepawa track and field athletes have had a “little secret” since 2012 that has become less secretive in the last couple years. Bryce Koscielny, the Neepawa Area Collegiate (NACI) track coach and a teacher at the school, started a track and field club back in 2012 for a handful of NACI students who wanted more training. Koscielny said that the club started as a quiet, little thing and just “blossomed into what it is today.” Today, it is more of a regional club, having 17 full time members, coming to train in Neepawa from the communities of Brandon, Chater, Rivers, Rapid City, Carberry, McGregor and, of course, Neepawa. “[It’s] the only club in Manitoba outside of the perimeter [of Winnipeg],” Koscielny said.
