I remember the schoolhouse and church, and we panned for gold as well. I think I still have my vile with the pieces of gold in it! Didn't realize how much my parents would've paid for a family of 7 to go there for a day though! Glad you and the family had such a great time!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022252736619690644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-73100682259859790502016-08-20T10:18:16.178-07:002016-08-20T10:18:16.178-07:00Great info!

I love as many tips as possible 😊Louise Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052576071967823728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-43507089063539294472016-08-20T10:03:07.153-07:002016-08-20T10:03:07.153-07:00We went this year and really enjoyed it. I agree,...We went this year and really enjoyed it. I agree, though, that going once is enough. We didn't do any of the things that cost extra money (except the gold panning), so it was a pretty cheap day for us. We have older kids, so we did a bunch of the free performances. The favourites were definitely the courthouse with Judge Begbie (we walked up there...very nice hike), the Chinese schoolhouse (learned calligraphy, some Chinese words, and Chinese math), and the street Music show. On the first evening there, we went to check it out and we could enter the town without paying. Many of the houses, etc., were still open, so we enjoyed exploring the buildings with very few people around and then we could concentrate on going in the shops and seeing shows the next day. I personally think it's a place to go with kids that are a bit older, especially if you want to see some of the performances like the court session.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000143983204665828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-73831692688630840492016-08-20T08:10:16.173-07:002016-08-20T08:10:16.173-07:00Good to know about the bed and breakfast!!

Canada Day would be a great weekend to go then, that sounds so fun! They do have a special festival today which we missed by one day...oh well! Yes, we ate chinese food for lunch :) It took a long time to get our food but it was good!Louise Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052576071967823728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-37948857924559851162016-08-20T07:58:26.283-07:002016-08-20T07:58:26.283-07:00We once did the bed and breakfast over Canada day ...We once did the bed and breakfast over Canada day weekend. It was really fun. They have activities for kids like potatoes sac races and ballon toss as well as games for adults. Egg race, climb a tall slippery log to get the rum at the top etc. The bed and breakfast was awesome. Served a yummy breakfast every morning. Shows were awesome. went to a dance on Canada day probably my highlight. The Lung Duck tong restraunt is amazing!!! Bakery is so good. Glad you had fun!Jen wallnoreply@blogger.com
