Halfway through Round 4 of the SledTown ShowDown sponsored by Polaris, some interesting races are shaping up.

The closest race is happening in Manitoba between last year's overall winner Swan Valley (51%) and up and comer The Pas (49%), Manitoba—they are only separated by 2 percentage points.

In Saskatchewan, Yorkton is dominating their province's voting with a 67% to 33% lead over Nipawin at this juncture.
