Are you ready to see how scary Manitowaning can really be? Thanks to amazing volunteers, the haunted house tour will take place on Friday, October 29 from 7:30 to 9 pm in Manitowaning. It will be petrifying but also fun driving the streets of Manitowaning seeing each haunted house!
Due to COVID, the usual haunted ride is unable to take place. The haunted house tour is the replacement for this year.
The tour will be done in your vehicle. You go to the Assiginack arena and pay $5 and get a map of all the houses on the tour. You then drive around to see the haunted houses. All the proceeds will go to the Manitoulin Secondary School Living Well Locker. The $5 admission is per vehicle.
The M’Chigeeng First Nation family resources and youth program are presenting a Halloween family dance from 5:30-7:30 pm, on Friday, October 29.
