Some Portage La Prairie citizens received some free haircuts at the Prairie Welcome House yesterday at 139 Saskatchewan Ave E. Barber Amanda Joel was the one giving people the haircuts from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m.

The people who got the haircuts seemed to be happy with looking good this close to the holiday season. Joel also says she enjoyed doing the haircuts, and plans on coming back again for more free haircuts about once every one or two months.

"We had a really good turnout," Joel says. "So I will definitely be back soon for more haircuts for people in need."
