Food Truck Warz is a FREE fun event where people can come together and enjoy amazing food, midway rides, and shop at a local Made In Manitoba market. The event, now in its third year, has quickly become one of Brandon's most highly anticipated and well-attended annual events. In addition to all the fun and excitement, the event also helps to benefit several charity and not for profit initiatives in the process. Four local organizations will have the opportunity to raise both funds and awareness at this year's event including Pawsitive Communities (merchandise), Habitat for Humanity (beer garden), and Westman Dreams for Kids (50/50). The John Howard Society of Brandon will be managing the parking at the Brandon Riverbank Discovery Centre over the weekend. Parking is only $2 per car, per day. All funds raised from parking goes directly to the John Howard Society of Brandon. "Food Truck Warz and bdnmb.ca are locally owned and operated businesses and we're always looking for new ways to help support the community" said co-event organizer Darryl Wolski. "Incorporating these organizations into the weekends activities is just one small way we can give back" added Wolski.
