The scoop: Festival uses ~400 yds of chips (standard stuff from a local landscaping company), which help insulate the tents and add traction to the icy ground. 🪵

Trying to make trips to the dog spa for nail trims more enjoyable with antler bribery.

A late breaking addition to this breakup food feature: The Doghouse from the silly sub makers over at Hoagie Boyz.

True North and the Winnipeg Football Club are collaborating to launch a new annual summer stadium rock/country concert series.

Loving this year’s sign off:
“Keep yourself alive in 2025”

Existential, morbid and hopefully attainable.
