Neepawa Chamber anticipates a busy,
fun filled Fair weekend
By Casper Wehrhahn

With the month of May having freshly arrived, preparations are well underway for a weekend of fun in Neepawa. The Neepawa and District Chamber Fair is returning for its 11th year in 2026, taking place from May 22 through 24.
As the date draws nearer, Chamber president Ally Potrebka shared that preparations have been going really well leading up to the event.
“We’re looking forward to another busy year at the Neepawa Chamber Fair,” said Potrebka.
Sharing a look ahead to the attractions to be featured this year, Potrebka noted that attendees can expect a mixture of returning items, as well as some new ones.
“We have a number of events returning this year including Select Shows Midway and food trucks all weekend and pony rides on Saturday, and the reptile show on Sunday,” said Potrebka. “One exciting new addition is that Happy Clicks & Co., a new business in Neepawa, will be bringing their photo booth on Saturday.”
Another new addition is ‘Chamber Bingo’, which includes prizes of $100 or 250 in Chamber Bucks, and a Tourism gift pack worth $100.
“Leading up to the Fair, community members can pick up a Bingo card at Chamber Member Businesses and check off boxes by doing different activities, then return their Bingo card to the fair to a Chamber Member Business,” Potrebka explained. “A list of Chamber Members can be found on our website, www.neepawachamber.ca.”
There are also a number of events happening throughout Neepawa over the weekend, including the Rotary: The New Wave Neepawa Colour Run, Enns Bros Day of Play, U9 boys and girls baseball tournament, and more.
The Chamber will make a full schedule of events available to the public through a variety of avenues, such as advertisements in the Neepawa Banner & Press, social media, and as a Bingo card attachment.
Additional volunteers needed
Volunteers are an important factor to hosting events such as the Chamber Fair. Currently, the Neepawa & District Chamber of Commerce is still looking for more helping hands for the weekend fanfare.
“Particularly for Friday 10:00 a.m. to noon to help set up the Fair Grounds, and Sunday from noon to 5:00 p.m. to help [with] maintaining the Fair Grounds,” said Potrebka. “Volunteers are welcome to come for a portion of that time if that’s when they’re available.”
To get involved volunteers are asked to get involved by contacting Becca Lanutan via email at info@neepawachamber.com.
In her final comments, Potrebka stated, “We would like the whole community to cross their fingers for warmer weather so we can all enjoy the Chamber Fair without toques and mitts. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Chamber Fair!”
