Jessie McAuley, 2008 Fur Queen Candidate, Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival

My name is Jessie McAuley. I am 19 years old and my sponsor for the 2008 Fur Queen Pageant is the Wescana Inn. I am presently a student at Joe A. Ross School in Grade 11. I work part-time at the Wescana Inn, Kunfusionz Night Club. My parents are Patricia & Donald Whitney. My grandparents are Marie & Edward Wescoupe and the late Doris & Angus McAuley (Sandy Bay, Manitoba). I have two younger brothers, Shawn and Chase. I am a member of the Mathias Colomb First Nation, Pukatawagan, Manitoba. My goal is to be a teacher specializing in Physical and Land Based Education. I enjoy dancing, meeting people and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the 2008 Trapper's Festival and I wish my fellow contestants good luck!

We would like to take this time to thank all the participants of this event for coming out with their snowmobiles and riding the trails. Also a special thanks to the community for buying Ghost hands and supporting this fundraising event. We would also like to say thanks to Chooch Lathlin, Vince Lathlin and Ron Dupas for manning the ice-shacks and making this event possible. Also thank you to the Pitre family for all their hard work & support.

Fundraising is difficult if not impossible without the support of the community. We would like to share our deep appreciation for your assistance with ticket sales to the following businesses.

Wescana Inn, Missinippi Airways, Pitre Tire, Watier Jewellers, Carley Bearing and Auto & Whitefeather Creations.

We would also like to give special mention to Paskwayak Business Development Corporation for allowing us to do bake sales, loonie parades and sell our tickets at the Otineka Mall.
