For a second year, the show will host the Mid Canada Fish Carving Chamionship with 8 cat- egories of great interest to Manitoba fishing enthusiasts.

After judging, Canada Jay entries will be displayed togeth- er for all to enjoy. A prize draw for these entrants will be a one of a kind stained glass creation by artist Chris Johnson. “The 2018 championship is a celebration of the wonder of creating art from wood, stone, bone and antler,” said Prairie Canada co-chair Lynda Baxter. The 2018 competition is expected to draw 300 hand-crafted carv- ings from 100-plus entrants from Ontario, the Prairie Provinces and adjoining states. The show is open from 9 am-4 pm, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday is the best day for public viewing of carvings as the judging is com- plete and carvings are displayed with award winning ribbons. Admission is $5 for adults; children under 16 are admitted free. The general public will also be able to purchase original hand-crafted carvings and bid on a variety of original carvings during a live auction on Sunday at 2 pm. Children are welcome to colour a cut-out fridge magnet of a fish. Cast a ballot for the People’s Choice Award.

HINTS Hints: Single letters usually stand for an “A” or an “I”. Fill all those in first. Apostrophes are usually followed by an “S” or a “T”. If you have found the “A”, a coded word like “Axx” is often the word “and”, giving you the “N” and “D”. Coded words ending in two similar letters - “xxxxxFF” for example - will often have those letters being “S” or “L”. Two letter words that are not abbreviations almost always have a vowel or end in a “Y”.
