A polar bear rests on the snow at Churchill last November in Manitoba, Canada. Polar bears gather in large numbers in Churchill during the fall to wait for the Hudson Bay to freeze over. When this happens, they can get closer to their preferred food source ... seals, which are a high body fat food the bears need to survive.

Fare Thee Well John's Tavern and Restaurant!, After 96 years, one of Winfield's oldest businesses is closing. "John's Buffet", as us "Old Timers" knew it, has been a part of Winfield since 1921. There is a lot of local history behind the walls of the Tavern, Liquor store and Restaurant. Thanks and Good Luck, we wish you all well.
