The Yorkton Film Festival in partnership with the Yorkton Exhibition Association will screen the award winning short film, Return of the Prairie Bandit, during Grainmillers Harvest Showdown. Return of the Prairie Bandit synopsis: Their habitat once stretched across the Prairies but when humans decimated the one thing they eat, the black-footed ferret disappeared. The only native North American ferret, this mysterious animal became the most endangered species in the world. For many years, they survived only in zoos. Now a fledgling project is attempting to bring the blackfooted ferret back to Saskatchewan. This dramatic story of the ferrets' reintroduction to the wild unfolds in Return of the Prairie Bandit. Return of the Prairie Bandit was the winner of the 2011 Golden Sheaf Award, Documentary Nature and Environmental category. Admission is free.
