Harvest Gala a Huge Success!
I am pleased to report that our Harvest Gala proved to be successful beyond the wildest dreams of the dinner committee. Approximately 350 people attended the banquet in the Viscount Gort Hotel in Winnipeg. As a result of the generous support of both sponsors and participants the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame (MAHF) has been able to endow $21,000 to support a $1,000 scholarship to be awarded annually to a worthy student studying in the field of Agriculture or Human Ecology. This scholarship, to be administered by the Red River Exhibition Foundation, will be presented in the name of the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame. The remaining funds will go towards the operating expenses of the MAHF.
