Lights, cameras, action

16 Feb

I’m so excited! This is my favorite time of the year.   I get to be in the parade I feel like a star.

Be sure to bring a hat, mittens and maybe a scarf if it’s cold out and join us along Main Street Friday (Feb. 17th) night. The parade starts at 7:00pm so you may want to get there a bit early to find “the BEST place” to watch all the floats as they go by.

See you at Winterama!

Glow in the Dark Bowling an experience not to be missed

14 Feb

I was in visiting the staff at the Knights Haven Lanes. I had never seen a Glow in the Dark bowling so they turned the lights off just for me. It was too cool I glowed everywhere. . .cause I’m white. . .ha ha ha. I had a bit of a hard time holding the ball because it kept sliding of my fur. Oh well maybe this is one activity I just have some fun watching :)

Saturday, February 18th 10:00am – 10:00pm
Sunday, February 19th 10:00am – 5:00pm
Monday, February 20th 10:00am – 5:00pm

$20 per hour per lane including shoes (up to 6 people per lane)

Call early for reservations. It gets really busy in there when the fun begins.

See you at Winterama!

Snowshoeing in Rotary Park for Winterama

13 Feb

Well as a snow “person” I don’t have a difficult time on the snow but every little trick I learn can’t hurt right! 

So join me in Penetanguishene Rotary Park on Saturday, February 18th from 12:00pm – 2:00pm.  See how well you can maneuver on snowshoes and even try a couple of challenge competitions organized by Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre.

You never know when those skills will come in handy :)

Snowman Competition

12 Feb

Wow. . . . I’m just had a ton of fun out in the new snow making snow angels :) .  So does this mean everyone will be participating in the  snowman competition during Winterama.   It’s easy!  Grab a few boxes (one large box for the base, one medium box for the middle and one small box for the head), pack the snow in the boxes spritzing a bit of water on the snow to help it settle.  Let the boxes sit for 1 to 2 days.  Check to ensure the snow has harded then remove the cardboard and place the pieces in order.  Then make a snowman that is unique to you and your family. I can’t wait to see the creativity all over Town.
