The lunch has been held and was very successful. The winner of the Grain Max 3000 Hopper Bottom Bin was Darren Fraser of Portage La Prairie.
It's something we have been doing for many years and we were excited to do it again. The Farmer Appreciation Lunch! Over the past 15 years we've held the event at places like the Fort La Reine Museum, Morrision Sports Park in Oakville and the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin. This year we are going back to the site of the very first one, Island Park Portage!
The event will be based out of the MNP Exhibition Building and will run from 11:30 to 1:30. It will be free lunch for everyone with food from Danny's Whole Hog and Panko's Food Centre. There will we have a whole host of prizes to hand out and of course the big one - The Grain Max 3000 Hopper Bottom Bin worth over $25,000! There are no tickets to buy or donations to make. All you need to do is show up. enjoy lunch, visit with some of our partners and get your name in the draw box.
