Happy Eighth Anniversary to Us!! by Margaret Ullrich

Happy Eighth Birthday to Winnipeg is Better Than Chocolate!!

And thank you for visiting, whether you dropped in on a daily, weekly or occasional basis during the past eight years!

I'm always amazed at learning where you live. 

From the beginning, when I started this blog in 2009, Canada was always the number one country for visitors. Well, that changed two years ago. 

The United States is still the top visitor, and often there are about 200 visitors from our southern neighbour a day.

Maybe it's due to the change in our dollar's value.

There’s also been a big increase in visitors from Germany and Russia.

Tourists can sure get a great bang for their vacation buck in Canada.

Hope they are coming to Winnipeg and enjoying a lot of great events here.

According to Blogger there have been 368,554 visitors since this blog began!

The top ten countries and their visitors are:

United States……….. 106,576

Canada……………………. 85,177

Germany……..…………. 59,565

Russia…………..………… 34,707

Ukraine.…………..……….12,804

France……………….……. 10,951

United Kingdom….……. 3,889

China………………….…….. 3,180

Japan..………….….….…… 2,568

Slovenia………….….…..… 1,976

During the years there have also been visitors from Moldova, Turkey, Ireland, 

Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, Argentina, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, Eritrea, Italy, 

Finland, Spain, the Netherlands, Macedonia (FYROM), Mexico, Afghanistan, Thailand, 

Slovakia, India, Bangladesh, Israel, Malaysia, Kuwait, Greece, Kenya, Vietnam, 

Czech Republic, Portugal, Bulgaria, Romania, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Armenia

Belarus and Namibia - just to name the top visitors.

I'm so glad you stopped by for a look.

Thank you for taking an interest in events happening here in Winnipeg!

It’s been interesting learning what types of events you’re interested in attending.

I do pay attention to which posts get the most visits.

I’ll be posting more of those, and similar, events.

I'll also be cutting down on the events that you're not interested in seeing.

Who has time to waste, right?

Hope you’re also enjoying hearing the music from our up-and-coming musicians!
