Family and Kids Events North of Toronto for October 26-28 including Halloween Events

This weekend holds many Halloween events and activities as the final weekend before the holiday itself, next Wednesday (Oct. 31) .

Ontario Kids are PACKED WITH HALLOWEEN EVENT FUN!

Haunted barns, harbours and houses are thrilling kids and families in many towns North of Toronto and the GTA. Corn mazes, wagon rides, pumpkin patches, zombie walks and even a marsh monster are all waiting to make your family laugh and scream.
~we encourage parents to follow our links and review the event and make sure it is not too scary if you have wee ones or even older ones that scare easily~

Includes Halloween Fun!
Friday October 26 is a PA/PD Day for some little ghouls and boys. Huronia Museum is offering a Halloween themed day camp for kids in the Midland area.

Ski and snowboard gear swap and sales continue to a great place to get good deals on what your family needs to have a good year out on the slopes and tracks. Rumour has it we will make up for last year's mild winter in the winter months to come, why not have some great snow-filled family recreation.
