Farmers Market and Thrifting

 Winnipeg, MB


Downtown Farmers Market

This morning we walked over to the farmers market a few blocks away.  We heard the string section of the symphony was playing and we wanted to check out the veg.  It turned out to be a much smaller farmers market than we expected and we didn't find the string section but we did have a nice walk.

We watched modern dance in front of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet building



There were a few "Mini Golf" style games set out so we tried our luck at them.

And we saw Dale Hawerchuk or at least his statue.  It is a really cool statue.  

Thrift Store Shopping in Canada!

Our other event today was taking a short road trip to a few thrift stores.  We stuck with Goodwill but they were Goodwill Canada so they were much smaller than the Goodwills that we are used to.  I found a T-Shirt.  I almost bought a Winnipeg Jets Shirt too but decided to leave it.  My T-Shirt collection is getting rather large at this point.

Now I just need a White Russian Cocktail

We can walk to the Stadium the Goldeyes play at.  I suspect these are like nacho bowls.

I would have bought these 5 Pin Bowling glasses if we didn't have to travel with them.  They were cool!

That's it for today.  It was a rather low key day.  There was a severe storm coming in and we wanted to be at home for it.  It ended up not being too severe in our area but from the looks of Reddit, there was heavy hail in the surrounding areas.  If you missed The Manitoba "State Capitol" check it out.
