Organizers of Brandon's first ever Food Truck Warz are revving up for the fall spectacular by announcing two new food trucks who will be rolling into town for two days in September. A Little Pizza Heaven and Healthy Eats join an already impressive lineup of vendors confirmed for the event. A Little Pizza Heaven One of the most requested food trucks we were asked to bring to Brandon was a truck that served pizza, and we are pleased to introduce A Little Pizza Heaven to our inaugural event. This mobile pizzeria is an extension of their three brick and mortar pizza locations in Winnipeg. Among the pizza offerings is the Chicken & Spinach Pomodoro which is topped with chicken breast, diced spinach, tomatoes, feta and mozzarella. They are best known in Winnipeg for adding garlic butter and salt to the crust, a favorite of the city's late night pub crawlers. Look for them also to be serving up a variety of wings and salads as well. Healthy Eats Healthy Eats will be in the Victoria Inn parking lot serving healthy food truck fare that is both nutritious and delicious. They specialize in a variety of sandwiches, wraps, and salads including many vegan and gluten free options. Healthy Eats also features sides you may not find at any other truck including a fruit & yogurt parfait, fruit cups and veggies and dip. Meat lovers will enjoy their Bifana sandwich...a spicy Portuguese sandwich made of a boneless pork chop marinated in Portuguese spices with roasted white onion, banana peppers, on a fresh Portuguese bun.

Kenny Shields, lead singer of the popular Canadian rock band Streetheart, has passed away quietly and peacefully early this morning at the St. Boniface General Hospital in Winnipeg MB.  Band-mate Jeff Neill confirmed Shields death Friday on Facebook.  Shields, who hailed from Nokomis, Sask, was 69 yeas old at the time of his passing. In July, of this year, they had to cancel the entire 2017 tour schedule for Kenny Shields and Streetheart due to Shield's health concerns. In lay terms, he has approximately 20% efficiency on the left side of his heart which has caused his right side to become damaged in an attempt to compensate. This has created a dangerous buildup of fluid in his lungs along with other serious internal issues. If not for emergency surgery on Monday by a group of highly skilled and compassionate physicians at the St. Boniface Hospital and the Victoria General Hospital, Kenny would likely not be with us today. Www.streetheart.ca Members of Streetheart, and special guests, will pay tribute to the legacy of the legendary Kenny Shields on August 20th at Winnipeg's Classic Rock Fest.
