About Minburn Ag Society

The Minburn and District Agricultural Society has been a fixture of this small hamlet along the Yellowhead Highway since the 1970s, run by community members who keep the local calendar full. The society hosts a cattle pen show and bench fair each year, along with its long running heifer show, and it maintains both a curling rink and a community hall that together hold hundreds of people for events and meetings, plus a playground for younger visitors.

MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the Ag Society, so members organizing an event, curlers on the ice, and renters running a meeting can all get online without relying on a weak rural cell signal. Minburn sits between Innisfree and Mannville on the Yellowhead Highway, and MCSnet sponsors hotspots in both of those villages too.

Where: Main Street, Minburn, Alberta.
