Pharmasave Souris Joins The Fun At Sour Chamber of Commerce Scarecrow Days
Scarecrows, Steven Spielberg & Community
Pharmasave Souris has been part of the fabric of their community since its beginning as Whitfield Drugs in 1956. Pharmasave is very involved in many community events, including Souris Chamber, minor hockey, and health and wellness events.
One of the favourite fall-time traditions in southwest Manitoba is the Souris Chamber of Commerce Scarecrow Days. The three-day event started 32 years ago and brings out residents and businesses alike to compete for prizes for the best scarecrow. The 2023 theme was Steven Spielberg movies. The winner of the best business scarecrow was ET. Each year on Saturday morning Pharmasave offers free coffee and donuts as well as a photo opportunity beside the "How Tall This Fall" sign. Scarecrow Days is also about the town-wide yard sales. Each year garage sale shoppers come from communities all around to find that special item they didn't know they needed. Next year Scarecrow Days will be back September 2024.
Giving Back to the Community
Being locally owned and operated, the owners and staff reminisce they've, "had the benefit of many fun events organized by the town and now it's time to give a little bit back".
