 Looking for things to do this summer on weekends 

I just came across an article today in the Free Press about zipline attraction by Manitou. Has anyone tried this? I also heard about River tubing at Asessippi Park. Is there anything else interesting that you have tried or heard about? We are two to four couples, late forties that like to go to differnet communites in Manitoba on day trips.We have done fishing golfing community garage sales. Would like to know what is happening in your community this summer.

If you are going to Asessippi - swing towards Rossburn first. There is a scrapbooking (also flowers, gifts, specialty cafe, & more) store with tons of events and great food. Gone Scrappin' In Bloom www.gonescrappin.ca

And tour the Babushka Trail (The Buddah's, Mass Grave & more historical sites) as well as golfing a very picturesque 9 hole golf course at Rossman Lake. A really nice day trip with lots to see and do. Rossman Lake also opened up with a new Yurt Accomodations. Very interesting to see.

I just came across Pembina Valley Amazing Race 2009.

It starts Sept 4 to 6. It cost $50.00 per team to registrate. There are additional costs to do various task that weekend. Did anyone do this last year?
