The Northern Manitoba Trappers Festival kicks off this week, and the town is buzzing with events.

 

The festival starts on Wednesday, but games and activities are underway.

 

One change the committee says has worked well over the last few years is the addition of the event headquarters on top of the Trappers Festival Headquarters.

 

Jen Cook, Festival Director, shares details about the festival headquarters.

 

"We have our usual festival event HQ, that's where you buy all our merchandise, where you pick up your event tickets, pageant, teen fashion show, things like that.  Pub Crawl registration will (also) be there.

 

"So one thing that is not at event HQ is Festival HQ, which is located in The Pas Regional Library's Annex again."

 

The event HQ will be located at the Wescana towards the back in the Rendevous Room.

 

That will be the central location to register for events like the King and Queen Trapper Contest and others.

 

Festival booklets are now available at Opasquia Times, Wescana Inn, Michaels, Paperwork's Plus and Super Thrifty.
