Haven’t you always wanted to go dashing through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh? Well, there are two horses pulling the sleigh at Champetre County, but it is still a super special experience!  See Champetre Count’s website for dates and details! 

On November 15th and 16th visit TCU Place for a Canadian spin on the holiday classic, The Nutcracker. This is a favourite of people of all ages. Tchaikovsky's iconic score sets the stage for marvelous turn-of-the-century costumes and sets.
