It’s another busy week in the Eastman Region! With so many things on this list, it will be hard to decide what you want to do. This is the perfect week to go out to one, or all, of the Fall Suppers happening in the area because there are numerous workout classes happening to burn off that yummy turkey dinner. If you want to test your mind, head over to Pinnawa for their Annual Quiz Night. No matter what you pick, it’s sure to one memorial event!

Pumpkin Fest

It’s Garson’s 3rd annual Pumpkin Fest! Spend the day participating or watching multiple contests like the pumpkin contest to crown the person who has the best green thumb; or the pie baking contest.

Mr. Richards Fun Show – Magic Show for All

October 6 – St. John’s Heritage Church & Arts Centre – Lac du Bonnet
