On Thursday, Oct. 20, hopeful entrepreneurs from the Neepawa and Minnedosa areas gathered at the ArtsForward building for the second annual ‘What’s The Big Idea?’ event.
The event is a chance for entrepreneurs to build connections with other individuals and organizations, as well as pitch their ideas to the public and a panel of judges for their chance to win cash awards.
This year, seven entrepreneurs stepped up to pitch their ideas, with four of them taking home prizes.
