Winnipeg Summers


We brave the winters, but rock the summers in Winnipeg!

The Super Spike volley tourney is just one of the many things going on right now, and the weather is the best I can remember since ever.

And let's not forget The Fringe Festival. I must have over a dozen friends participating this year. Shout out to Kerry, Pam, Lisa, Lisa T., Erica, Brianna, Todd, Marcelo, Marielle, Kim and all!


The Winnipeg Fringe Festival is a fabulous way to get out and crazy. I've been going for years and even participated a couple times. Since the stage fright got the best of me I thought I'd be better off more behind the scenes. But I'm just too busy this year and don't even have time to see everyone perform :( .

And let's not forget the Dragon Boat Festival. My friend's brother was in the race a few years ago and fell in. Not only that, he had a big gulp of the red river in the process. Yuck!
