My facts maybe somewhat off but approximately 7,700 Mennonites from Manitoba (including the Blumenort area) and Saskatchewan emigrated to Mexico and Paraguay between 1922 and 1927. *If I made any mistakes, please correct me!* The primary motivation for this migration was to maintain their traditional way of life and control over their education, which they […]
We have a network switch CRS112 device that is very capable at what it does, we purchased it mainly for cost effectiveness, ease of configuration, and speed. We have several Mikrotik switches that have Layer 2 hardware acceleration. I do have some experience with Mikrotik devices, I’m MTCNA certified (Mikrotik Certified Network Associate); a special […]

Hi, It feels like our summer was really short… it was so smokey for such a long time in the beginning of summer that we really didn’t get to enjoy the outside as much as we normally do. In this picture we are enjoying Blumenort Fun & Fair days – once of the best days […]
