Pumpkin Hollow

Saskatchewan grows corn which according to me means its probably going to have some good corn mazes (maizes). A friend and I went out last weekend to Pumpkin Hollow with her little boy to check it out and see what it was all about. They make great popcorn balls, have a sandbox full of corn, a cow train, a pile of hay to climb up in, a mini petting zoo, pony and wagon rides, a corn gun and a corn maze that was a little bit hard to get out of!

Fall in Regina

This autumn has been sunny and warm but there is that chill in the air that lets us know without a doubt that summer is gone. The leaves have changed and not many are left on the trees anymore. I ventured out to walk around one afternoon a couple weeks ago and took some pictures not far from my house.

Octoberfest

Dancing, beer drinking, sauerkraut eating contest, more dancing, a couple of bands and more beer drinking. Really what more can a person say about Octoberfest? This is apparently the first year that the Regina German Club held its Octoberfest. Considering how many people showed up and how much fun was had I'd be surprised if it didn't become an annual thing!

Regina Beach Trails

I finally made it out to the Regina Beach area with my bike thanks to the Wascana Wheelers and more specifically Noreen, our trip guide. What a great area to go riding. We went out for a good 3 hours or so before going to the local fowl dinner (more on that next time). I was pleasantly surprised to find some nice single track and hills and wishing that I had real mountain bike tires on my bike. The more technical area lies to the west of Regina Beach itself while the main trail lies to the east. There is still plenty to be explored next time as we stayed to the more tame trails. I'm definitely looking forward to that!
