Presentations at the Evans

After a great turnout at the Evans Theatre in Brandon, director Graham Street and colleagues Shaun Cameron and Nate Bower were presented with mementos of their hard work by members of the XII Manitoba Dragoons Museum. Left to right are: Nate Bower; volunteer John Ball; Shaun Cameron; Graham Street; Don Berry, President, 26th Field Regiment / XII Manitoba Dragoons Museum; and Glenn Ball, Secretary, Museum Board.

Over $800.00 was raised for the museum through donations by the near-capacity crowd.

Thanks for a great season!

Thank you to our audience for making our year a success!
To give our volunteers a much needed break, we return with new movies in  Sept. 2014. Check back in September for our exciting new movies!
See you in the fall & bring a friend!
