Over $94,00.00 in provincial grants went to ag societies across Manitoba this month to help improve fairground facilities.

$800.00 of that was earmarked for the Treherne Ag Society to help build a new announce booth.

Spokesperson Josie Robinson says it means they have to do less fundraising as a result. She adds ag societies are important in the community, and while they've struggled recently, she's convinced the future is positive.
Robinson thinks the new announce booth will make a significant difference at Treherne's fairgrounds. It'll allow them to work two show rings at the same time.
