Christmas on the Farm took place at the Mennonite Heritage Village on Jan. 4. The free event was organized by the South East Manitoba Draft Horse Association as a way to give back to the community and bring people together. There was also a Tin for the Bin for folks who wanted to donate food, which last year produced 300 pounds for food banks in the Southeast. This is the second year that the association has held this event at MHV, but it has been holding wagon ride events for 20 years. This year there were five teams and one single horse pulled wagon for crowds to enjoy. Teams came from Mitchell, La Broquerie, Kleefeld, Roseau River, and just south of Steinbach.
