“As a 100% Canadian owned company that company that strives to embody, support, and celebrate the rural lifestyle, sponsoring the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair (RMWF) was an easy decision for Peavey Industries,” says Jest Sidloski, VP of Marketing at Peavey Industries. “Especially meaningful to us is that the RMWF is a volunteer-lead organization that not only showcases agriculture, but also creates links between the urban and the rural through education and awareness, entertainment, and community pride. Sharing these common aims – as well as the commitment to celebrating, sharing, and building ties through and within the community – makes for an inspiring partnership that we are proud to be part of.”
A tourism highlight in Western Canada, the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair is one of Western Canada’s largest agricultural events and the largest annual event to be held in Brandon, Manitoba. The RMWF is one of only two fairs in Canada to receive Royal designation from Queen Elizabeth II and has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Events in North America, receiving numerous awards from the tourism industry.
“We appreciate the investment that Peavey Industries has made in the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair,” says Kathy Cleaver, Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba President. “We are grateful that our valued partner continues to recognize the importance of the Fair’s positive impact on the community and our many programs. We’re especially pleased to welcome Peavey Mart back to the Royal Farmyard and more specifically, the Petting Zoo, as this event has always been a popular attraction for families of all ages.”
This year’s Fair will run from Monday, March 27th through Saturday, April 1st at the Keystone Centre in Brandon, Manitoba and will feature world-class show jumping, heavy horse competitions, livestock sales and displays, a quality hands-on agricultural education program, exceptional live entertainers, over 300 commercial and agricultural exhibits, and, of course, the Peavey Mart Royal Farm Yard petting zoo.
