Brandon’s Keystone Centre was recently once again the scene of the 111th Royal Manitoba Winter Fair.
Once again the event educated and entertained attendees and participants during the week-long event.
The event drew young people both as patrons and participants, coinciding as it did with spring break for many of the province’s youth.
Freelance photographer Sandy Black attended on behalf of the Manitoba Co-operator and furnished these photos.
