After several years of successful lotteries, the Beautiful Plains Medical Clinic Committee is hoping to go above and beyond with this year’s fundraiser. The lottery has been edging closer and closer to a sell-out every year and that’s a very good thing. However, Mary Ellen Clark, who chairs the committee said, “Wouldn’t it be great be to sell out?”

The Town of Neepawa is moving ahead with the purchase of a new fire truck. The 2016 International pumper truck has been ordered from Fort Garry Fire Trucks, based out of Winnipeg, at a cost of $399,895, before taxes. A purchase of this type for a municipality is tax exempt however, so the town will receive the cost of the taxes back at a later date.
