Some Halloween Activies Around Winnipeg

There are a lot of different activities to do ove rthe Halloween season this month.  Unfortunately, the annual Boo at the Zoo will not be taking place this year, but here are a few others to try:

Six Pines Ranch has Halloween activities for families (for all ages) and a much scarier Fear By Night event at night. 

A Maze in Corn has a corn maze to walk through, a petting zoo, hayrides, and lots of other activities.  They also have a Haunted Forest at night.

The Prairie Dog Central Railway has a Howlin' Halloween Express; wear a costume and ride the train to Grosse Isle and back with a visit to a haunted workshop.

There is a Winnipeg family who puts on a haunted house in October:
Its a Mid-Century Mayham- Zombie Apocalypse.
Hallween Haunt- 26 Glen Avenue
Saturday Oct 26 6pm - 9pm
Thursday October 31 - 6pm - 9pm.

The Oct 26th one is more geared to families, so there will not be as many scary things happening, the house and grounds will be set up the same for both dates. If families and/or Students are looking to be scared  then go to the one on Oct 31st.

This is a free event, however if famillies feel like donating, she will be giving all donations to the Wildlife Haven. Dontations are not required, this is a free event.  Thanks to Christina Wiebe for the info.
 
If you know of others put on by people as well, let me know and I'll pass it along.

Our Middle School Brazilians

We have been having a great week with the Brazilians at Lincoln Middle School.  We went to the museum and then poutine at Smoke's Poutinerie, and yesterday we went to the zoo:




It was also Hudson the Polar Bear's birthday, so he was out getting extra attention and extra fish.

This will be a great week of school activities and visiting the museum, the Zoo, Fort Whyte, and the Forks.
