The Filipino Cultural Festival, held on August 27 as a fundraiser for St. Dominic’s Church in Neepawa, has an official total amount of money raised.

After all expenses were paid, including cost of venue and food, the festival brought in $5,715 to put towards the new roof for St. Dominic’s. Money was raised through admission as well as food and beverage sales. The church and everyone involved in the fundraiser are very pleased with the results and very grateful for everyone who came out to support the cause and learn about another culture. Work on the repairs is currently underway.
