Do you want to ask this guy some questions? Or tell him he's doing a great job and you love living in Steinbach? Today's the day to do all those things. It is Open Door Day at City Hall in Steinbach and Mayor Chris Goertzen is available to chat with you this morning from 9-11:30 a.m. Mayor Goertzen DID stop by the AM1250 Morning Show to talk to Michelle Sawatzky about Summer in the City, construction season and May long weekend -- but you may have more to say. Stop by City Hall this morning -- the door is open.

Years of Memories for the Schellenbergs in Kleefeld!

2013 05 schellenberg1

Brian and Elvira Schellenberg.

So many years, so many memories. After 84 years, Brian and Roger Schellenberg have sold their family business "Schellenberg's" in Kleefeld. Some of you will remember when their grandfather, J.R. Schellenberg bought it in 1929 and moved it to where it sits today. It was in 1950 that the current store was built offering a post office, groceries, hardware, dry goods, gas, lawn and garden -- a true country general store. After all those years they have quite a few stories to tell. Enjoy.

A Nationals Experience for our local volleyballers!!

2013 05 volleyball nationals

The Butterdome at the University of Alberta was filled with 10 volleyball courts for the 17U/18U National championships for club volleyball.

There was plenty of Manitoba representation at the 2013 National 17U/18U Volleyball championships in Edmonton. Providence University College sent 2 teams of their own and will be sending more to Calgary this weekend. What an experience to compete with over 80 teams in your age level! It was superbly run and an experience of a lifetime for a bunch of our young southern Manitoba athletes. Congratulations!!
