Wickedly Westboro!

Saturday, October 29, 2011

Come get your zombie on in Westboro Village!

 

Join the merchants of Westboro Village  on October 29 for a day filled with chills and thrills, and spooktacular Halloween treats for the whole family.

The day will launch with a family zombie walk with a make-up and drama lesson from the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama.

Have a freakishly good time finding hidden clues through the stores in Westboro Village in our one-of-a-kind ghostly scavenger hunt.

Dovercourt will be pulling out all the stops at their haunted bouncy castle -- jumping around never felt so tricky.

Receive one of our limited edition, re-usable trick or treat bags filled with Westboro Village goodies (while quantities last)

Butcher the cold weather blues away at the Westboro Village Superstore pumpkin carving station.

Get up close and personal with up-close magician Elliot Smith who will leave you wondering exactly how it was done.

Or watch jugglers, psychics, palm readers, oriental face readers and be amazed at their mystical skills...

Shuffle your way down Richmond Road for a sidewalk sale to remember, featuring all your favourite Westboro village merchants! Wouldn't it be a scream to get a head start on that Holiday shopping?

 

Schedule of events:

10 to 10:40: Join the zombie team from the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama for a make-up and a zombie movement class on lot at Richmond and Eden (across from Mrs. Tiggy Winkles.)

10:45: Parade leaves, led by zombie Dovercat and the crew from Right Bike to end at the park on Richmond and Golden.

11 to 3: Pumpkin carving at the Great Canadian Superstore corner of McCrae and Richmond Road.

11 to 2: The Guy with the Dog will be holding a best dog costume contest, so bring Fido or Rex deck them out too. Great prizes to be had for the dogs too.

11:30 to 3:30 Live entertainment along Richmond Road including magician Elliot Smith, palm and face readers, psychic, hoopers and a whole lot more.

We dare say, it's fun for the whole undead family!
