Its not my name in lights, but print will do.


Published this week in the On 7 paper is my first contribution to the 7 Things to do on Sunday in Winnipeg. Yes, I came up with seven...

7 Things to do:
Don't cook tonight...
Don't feel like cooking or spending money on lunch? Treat yourself to a free-of-charge potluck of pre-made foods. All you need is a membership card to Costco and you can hit the sample booths that are set up from 2-4 p.m. on Sundays. Not only will you taste test what is new and popular at Costco but you will quench the hunger pains too.
A bundle of fun
Bundle up with some family or friends and take a couple thermoses of hot chocolate to Assiniboine Park for the day. Spend the day making snow angels, battling each other in snowball fights, and taking some trips down the toboggan slide. Remember, a safe trip down the slide is a good trip down, so bring a helmet for those who tend to be accident-prone.
Lace up and dance
Spend the day dancing at the Forks. At 2 p.m., the plaza skating rink turns into an ice dance floor. Skate to the tune of your favourite song or request one from DJ's Hunnicutt & Co-op, who will be spinning music at the canopy.
Adventures with Agnes
Enjoy Strindberg's A Dream Play at the Gas Station Theatre starting at 2 p.m. Presented by the Black Hole Theatre Company, the play follows the daughter of gods, Agnes, in her search for answers to mankind's sorrow. Tickets for adults are $15 and $12 for students and seniors.
YOUR GAME WILL SHINE
"Glow for it" tonight with a group of friends. Put on your whitest shirt and head over to U-Puttz black light mini golf. Take a shot at the 18-hole course and indulge in their canteen cuisine. Sunday hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the first game costs $7.65.
Dinner and a movie
Invite your whole family over to catch up during dinner and a movie. Flip through that unused cookbook and experiment with something you've never cooked before. After dinner, sit down with the family and watch CBCHW's showing of Finding Neverland at 8 p.m.
Jump right in
Forget the nippiness of the wind-chill and snow by dressing down in your favourite swimsuit at the Pan-am Pool. Relax in the pool or experience the thrill of jumping from the highest diving board. The swimming pool is open from 12:30-5 p.m. and admission is between $4.40 and $5.50.
