As a small prairie town, isn’t Neepawa so humble it hurts? And I mean that pretty literally, we actually hurt our own town with our humility. When visitors come and they ask what is there to do in Neepawa, we shrug our shoulders and go: Here? Hah! Nothing ever goes on in Neepawa. Nothing to do here!
We cause our visitors to move on and never come back, why, after all would you come back to a town where there is nothing to do?
I think it’s time that we stand up with pride and boast to all who want to hear about our little gem of a town.
This year alone, we’ve hosted some great events that people from all over the country have come to attend. Manitoba Homecoming, the July 1st Fireworks, the Lilyfest, the 10th annual Runway Drags, the Smoker, that’s just of the top of my head, I’m sure there is lots more. And then we haven’t even mentioned socials every weekend, everyone in Neepawa knows that we put on socials like no one else can!
Between the few afore mentioned events we’ve impressed thousands of visitors with what Neepawa can do.
Would we have a housing shortage in Neepawa, if this old town was so boring and so dumb? Why does everyone want to live here?
Would we attract thousands of visitors to our town if it was so boring here?
I think we have to start appreciating our own backyard! We have so much to offer in this town and our area.
As a store owner I see carloads of people come in on a daily basis from places like Winnipeg, Brandon, Austin, Virden, Steinbach etc. They come to Neepawa because of our stores, our golfcourse, our restaurants, our doctors, our machinery and car dealerships. They comment on how lucky we are in Neepawa to have all this right at our fingertips. And they rave about the variety of services and products available here and how it’s not cookiecutter like the large shopping malls in the cities.
The guys go look at machinery or cars, the women shop and do coffee, and later they meet up for lunch in one of our great places to ear and then on to our beautiful golfcourse.
They come from all around because we have optomotrists, doctors, dentists, new age healing places, health food stores, chiropractors, physio therapists, etc. etc.
And we haven’t even touched upon the huge job market available here.
But we as Neepawa inhabitants don’t see the treasure that surrounds us.
We have Big Valley, the Langford and Rosedale trails, we are a central point in the Trans Canada trail, a gem of a campground in Riverbend, a beautiful park and bird sanctuary at Rotary Park, a wonderful museum. We’re a hop skip and a jump away from Riding Mountain National Park, Sprucewoods Provincial Park, Minnedosa Beach. We are mere couple of hours away from anywhere in Manitoba.
We should be putting away our humility when it comes to our town, because the real danger lays in the fact that we start believing it ourselves.
Stand up fine citizens, be proud, we live in the best little town in Canada
