Manitoba Ag Days is very proud to announce they donated $9,155 to agriculture-related charities following the 2015 show. At the 2015 show we ran a 50/50 draw over the three days; the total purse reached $18,310!

The winner of the 50/50 was Craig Mowatt; he came and collected his $9,155 at the end of the show and was very excited to take home his winnings.

As a committee, we decided to donate the other half of the 50/50 money to these charities: Manitoba 4-H Council received $3,577.50; Manitoba Rural and Support Services received $3,577.50; Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup received $2,000 – they will be giving away two $1,000 scholarships with these funds. 

Manitoba Ag Days now encourages all Manitoba Youth Beef Roundup members to apply for these scholarships.  Continue to strive to be the best you can be in your chosen path; we hope someday you will all be exhibitors at Manitoba Ag Days!

We look forward to helping and supporting ag-related charities in the future. If you have an organization you would like to add to our possible recipients list, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
