RCMP Inspector Jean-Marc Nadeau says both both suspects are being held in Winnipeg, but wouldn't say much more than that.

It's been held every year for a 137 years making it the longest running fair in western Canada. I haven't attended in years. The rides and farm exhibits don't hold any interest for me anymore. The area is cramped this year with construction of the new recreation center ongoing. Abby and me ran into a couple of dogs from the Dog Show this weekend. There were some really nice dogs there. Abby was in her best behavior as we walked past the area they were exercising in. She was unleashed and showed a lot of interest in the other dogs but stayed by my side. Some of the show dogs were leashed but tugging at the handlers. ============================================================ View (2) Comments For This Post

Funds raised go to Kidsport Manitoba Central Region, and COPP member Rose says about $2000 was raised. She adds this event serves two purposes for COPP -- raising awareness of the group and helping out the community. She's grateful to many businesses that made donations to the event. COPP Provincial Coordinator Tracey Proctor sees this event as an example of working with community partners. She notes the Portage COPP has a strong relationship with the RCMP and the city, which benefits the community. Kidsport Central Region Co-chair Justin McCabe points out $5100 came to Portage last year from Kidsport, and is pleased the local support continues. Regional Manager Cindy Kowalski adds this is a critical time for Kidsport, so all kids can be involved in sports. ============================================================== View (3) Comments For This Post
