There’s a clue to Halloween family fun in Melfort. This Halloween, the Northern Lights Palace is hosting a scavenger hunt. Anyone can participate in the hunt anytime between Oct. 20 and Oct. 31 and all they need to do is follow the clues to the next location. The instructions for claiming the prize will be found at the last stop.

A Night with Spirits is an event hosted by Melfort Liquor Loft that allows adults to reconnect with lost loved ones. A group reading from an experienced medium will take place during the event. Attendees will be served hors d’oeuvres and spirits. Tickets are $100 per person and the event is limited to 50 participants.

For those in Carrot River, there will also be an opportunity to skate in your costumes. From 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 31 there is a skate and treat event at the Carrot River Arena. All are invited to attend.

The announcement of this contest in Nipawin will delight costume lovers. Post a picture of your Halloween costume to Nipawin Parks & Recreation’s Facebook page. There will be three categories: best group costume, most unique costume, and scariest costume.
