Charlene Wyatt has had this day circled on her calendar for months.
On Saturday, the Elbert Chartrand Friendship Centre in Swan River will host Metis Days. Registration starts at 10:30 a.m., and a horseshoe tournament will kick off the event at 11:00 a.m.
"Teams of two, $20 per person. First place pays $300, second place pays $200, and third place pays $100," said Wyatt, chair of the Swan River Local. "Starting at 1:00, we will have a .25 cent bingo until 3:00 with 100% payout. The event finishes with a youth dance and activities starting at 4:00."
There is no pre-registration required. Just head to the Elbert Chartrand Friendship Centre on Saturday.
Wyatt says this is always an exciting event for the community and one that is near and dear to her heart.
"It's nice to get out into the community to show them what we do," ended Wyatt. "We do other activities throughout the year as well. This is a celebration of our Metis heritage. Hopefully, we get a good turnout."
The horseshoe event and .25 cent bingo are both 18+. The dance is for those under the age of 18.
