The Let鈥檚 Talk Science event was sponsored by the Whitemud Watershed Conservation District and the Beautiful Plains Recreation Commission. The event was coordinated by Nicole Synchyshyn Director of Recreational Services at the Town of Neepawa who said, 鈥淭hanks to the sponsorship we were able to offer the event free of charge."  We had 65 kids attend the event, ages ranging from 4 - 16.  The instruction was put on by the University of Winnipeg and it was the most participants they  have had for a program. They were very surprised at the number of students that turned up on a Saturday to learn about science.  U of W has already said that they will be returning next year since it was such a successful event.鈥
The kids spent roughly an hour at each work station doing various activities and experiments surrounding each topic, which included: dinosaurs/fossils, growing your own crystals, germs/bacteria, microscope fun, water erosion and much more. Neepawa Boston Pizza graciously gave a gift for each participant and supplied the U of W volunteers with a delicious meal before they headed back to the city.
