The BARN

Picture

Barns are the cathedrals of the midwest - plain on the outside, but inside a vast, beautiful space built to shelter what matters."
​- Garrison Keillor
The Barn after the storm at Sunset, in Kelwood Manitoba which hosts a phenomenal Kelwood Ag Fair, Harvest Sun Music Festival and a great Volunteer Fire Fighters Fundraiser and so much more check out Royal Canadian Kelwood Legion#50, we are off Hwy#5 North Eastside of Riding Mountain.

​WHEN YOU COME ACROSS
THIS BEAUTIFUL BARN,
YOU ARE IN KELWOOD!


The idea for this Barn originated
from one couple and a collaboration
was formed with 24 community members.

​A realist focuses on perceiving and accepting the world as it objectively exists, emphasizing truth and facts. A pragmatist prioritizes practical consequences and utility, valuing what works effectively in a given context.
​
Someone combining realist and pragmatist traits can be described as a practical realist:
​
"The Practical Realist"
​
They objectively assess situations based on facts and truth such as weather, soil and water, while prioritizing actionable solutions that effectively address real-world challenges for growth and productivity.

Once a derelict area, the Kelwood Arboretum Garden (land belongs to the RM of Rosedale) now offers a peaceful pause and an inspirational oasis for those who want to sit and breathe, for those that drive by slowly take in the ever changing colour, and for those who stroll through on their way to somewhere else.
The garden also provides a home for the Eleanore Rose Outdoor Quilt Show and a lovely spot for community gatherings, weddings and family photos.

In 2026 the installation for the permanent quilt structures will be set in motion, With preparations for the Eleanor Rose Outdoor Quilt Show in the
Arboretum Garden.

As always, looking forward.
