After three years of fundraising, the Rosedale Farm Trail Committee has realized its goal. In June, a new mower was purchased to cut the trail during the summer months. This new mower is a commercial grade machine making it more suitable for the rugged terrain on parts of the trail. It also has a 60 inch cut, which equals half the mowing time of the smaller old lawn tractor previously used on the trail.

The results are in from a local fundraiser assisting CancerCare Manitoba and Ronald McDonald House. The Super Alyx Golf Tournament and Dinner, which was held on Saturday, July 16, has raised a little over $17,000. The festivities were put together by the Delaloye family, who have a personal connection to both organizations.

After three years of travelling from Oysoyoos to Neepawa, this pineapple plant, tended by Brenda Sumner, was started from the cut-off top of a delicious supermarket dessert. From roots in the pot to the top of the baby fruit leaves, the plant now measures 29”. The new fruit is 10” from base to the top of its leaves. This is pretty amazing, hopefully it will mature and the Sumners can enjoy another pineapple dessert.
