BREAKING NEWS!

MAAS (Manitoba Association of Agricultural Societies) in partnership with Manitoba Homecoming 2010 invites you to participate in a special event.

Manitoba Homecoming 2010 is going to be a year long experience bringing together former and current Manitobans, visitors, friends and families together for events, festivals and an all around great celebration.

Manitoba’s homecoming will be an extended showcase of everything that’s great about our province, easily seen in our festivals, cultural events and in community gatherings of all sorts. For many of those who return, they’ll wonder why they ever left. For those of us who’ve stayed, it will be a time to say with pride, “welcome home, let us show you what we’ve done with the place.” To recognize Manitoba Homecoming 2010 a special quilt competition will take place the theme of the quilt to be “Celebrating Homecoming.”

First prize will take home $2,800 and the winning quilt being hung at Manitoba House at the Olympics in Vancouver in 2010. The winning quilt will be unveiled at the MAAS Conference in January 2010. For further details and to register for the event please visit the following website:

http://www.manitobahomecoming2010.com/

Agricultural Societies have an opportunity to be a participant in this event. We will be seeking the various districts to come together to hold the regional judging competition in November 2009. Winning quilts from those events will move on to the final competition in December 2009. If you want to participate please check out the website and rules and contact the Superintendent of Agricultural Societies at 726-6195.

Agricultural Societies who partner to hold a separate “Homecoming 2010” regional quilt competition within the District are eligible for grant money up to 80% of the cost of the event by applying for the Special Education Grant. Contact the Superintendent of Agricultural Societies in advance for approval.

Be part of Manitoba Homecoming 2010 and also benefit from national advertising and exposure in highlighting your District Agricultural Societies and region, courtesy of Manitoba Homecoming 2010.

Spread the word to present and potential quilters, to present Manitobans and former Manitobans. Let’s get behind Manitoba Homecoming 2010 and make this an exciting and successful event for Manitoba, for your district, and your Agricultural Society.
