Canadian Western Agribition is underway in Regina, and on Tuesday, scholarship recipients were announced with a local connection.

Morgan Heidecker from Middle Lake was announced as a winner of one of six scholarships handed out.

The Canadian Western Agribition Scholarship, worth $2,500, is handed out to students with a history of involvement in the annual event as exhibitors, volunteers or competitors.

Heidecker is currently attending the University of Saskatchewan, where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness.

She grew up on her family's operation north of Middle Lake, Triple H Farms, and has been involved with Three Lakes 4-H Beef Club.

Her brother Taryn and older sister Miranda are also attending the University of Saskatchewan, while her younger sister Makenna will graduate in 2017.
