Heritage Jamboree
Each year the La Crete Agricultural Society organizes a two-day local jamboree as a fundraiser for our museum. The 2014 event was on February 7 & 8. We had ten different local groups perform music. The Jake Reimer family, Norbert Giesbrecht & group, Jeff Stoesz & George Loewen, Jake Gerbrandt, Abe Friesen, Martha Schmidt & Susanna Peters, James Driedger & Willie Enns, John Wiebe family, Dave Peters family and Willie Braun family provided a lot of local entertainment. Thank you all. We heard many positive comments – some of us would love to attend such an event once a month! Keep sharing that talent – it’s greatly appreciated! The 50/50 draw and the musicians helped us raise approximately $8000 for a zero-turn lawnmower for the museum grounds. The museum village is located on a ten acre plot and a lot of yard care is involved to keep the grounds attractive. The new zero-turn mower will be a great asset.
