Well, it’s over. The jackpot was cracked, the 43 million are gone.
Actually it was more than 43 million, it ended up being over 45 million dollars: $45,145,712.00!
Now is also the perfect time to go blueberry picking and huckleberry picking along the Beaches of Lake Winnipeg.
Blueberries and Huckleberries are basically the same thing though some say the real Huckleberry has larger seeds, making it more difficult to eat.
One problem you have with Chanterelle is that they tend to have their fins stuck full of sand grains. Though a very tasty mushroom, this sometimes turns people off from picking and cooking them.
Chanterelle. Unlike other mushrooms Chanterelle are easy to recognise. They are bright yellow, and grow in a funnel shape.
A good place to go Chanterelle picking is Elk Island this time of year.
A 29 year old man was fatally injured in what was called an altercation on Third Avenue about 3 a.m. Sunday, leaving him laying there bloody and beaten. Marking a tragic conclusion to the Gimli Icelandic Festival
August and early September are the perfect time to go to Manitoba’s Beaches! Weather is warm, mid to upper 80s, it is the sunniest time of year and the mosquitos have quieted down. Enjoy the summer by renting a cottage for a week.
Folklorama has started. It even brought us an important visitor to our Province. Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped by on his way back to Ottawa, to try and rally some Filipino voter support for his next election.
Looks like this week-end will be nice and warm, but not too hot for the Eastern Beaches Area of Lake Winnipeg.
As part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site nomination on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. Manitoba’s Natural Resources Minister Stan Struthers and his Ontario counterpart joined forces today to protect an area in both provinces.

A 12 year old boy and his 14 year old brother went out target shooting last Wednesday with a legally registered .22-calibre bolt-action rifle at a farm near Kelwood, Manitoba.
The accident was described as a self inflicted injury by the RCMP, as the gun apparently accidentally discharged and hit the boy in the head.
They reported they had thought of chasing the Sasquatch, but were too unnerved by the sighting and even gave up their berry picking. The creature had really scared them, especially when they returned later with others and found a large, six-toed footprint.
I told him that I was currently travelling in Germany and the call was being forwarded, but I was pretty sure that the park had picnic fascilities and fire pits. None the less, I just checked it up on the Web. Patricia Beach Provincial Park has fire pits!
