Hello fellow grad students!

I wanted all plant science grad students to be aware of a fun activity!  This weekend is the Manitoba Stampede and Exhibition in Morris, MB!!!  This is your chance to experience a part of the history that founded the North American western frontier! 

The feature event is Manitoba's ONLY pro rodeo!  Show times for the rodeo are Friday @ 7pm and, Saturday and Sunday @ 2pm.  On Saturday and Sunday, there will also be chuckwagon and chariot races after the rodeo!  Gate admission is FREE this year, and rodeo tickets are 20$.  There are many entertainment options, including a midway (rides and games), horse shows and demonstrations, a trade show, texas hold-em tournament, and beer garden.

I have been working the Rodeo for over 10 years, and I can say this year is going to be a great show!  There are lots of entries for every event, and all these performers are elite athletes in their sport.  So if you are looking for a fun outing, and experience a little bit of western history, bring your friends and come down to Morris, Mb for the Stampede!  It's only a 40 minute drive south on highway 75 (Pembina) from the south perimeter.

Hope to see you there!
