Portage la Prairie's Ag Expo took place Saturday at the MNP Building on the island. Portage and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Cindy McDonald says the event was never held here before.

"This was a fantastic event. It was our first year, so every year we can build and make it bigger and better," says McDonald "It's just really a great event to showcase agriculture and all the different aspects to the community."
