Last Sunday, families had the chance to get out for a day of fun, while supporting a local cause. Cats TNR & Rescue held their first annual Family Fun Day in the town of Riding Mountain. About 150 people came out from all over the Westman area, including Brandon, Neepawa, Eden, Plumas, Glenella, Kelwood, Laurier and, of course, Riding Mountain. The event raised approximately $900 to put towards neutering and releasing or rescuing cats in Riding Mountain.
