Wolfville's Ghost Walk

2008 in Review

2008 Updates:

- The fifth and final "Ghost Walk Before Christmas" on December 21st 
was in limbo  all day. The weather was threatening and forced us 
to change plans for the 6 courageous souls who still attended.
Half the show was indoors complete with hot chocolate as the snow 
coldly fell outside. This was an amazing way to close the season. 

- Due to a change in personal plans, a 4th walk was possible 
and scheduled for December 18th. Although it got off to a shaky start, it 
recovered enough to give the 15 patrons another memorable performance.
 
   - The 3rd Gravely Ghost Walk happened on Wednesday, Nov. 19th.
I had a full-house booked (over 50 people) however the
snow put a chill into the plans and only 17 braved the conditions.
Still, it was a great way to end the season...or so I thought.

- The 2nd Gravely Ghost Walk Friday, Nov 14th was the highlight. 
The rains held off and 44 people came out. It was so much fun
and it was obvious that the people were really into it.

- The first walk on Nov. 12th saw 20 brave souls face the 
unknown by participating in the first ghost walk 
through Wolfville. 


Thanks to everyone who came out.
We appreciate the support!

(Seriously, can you imagine walking across the Minas Basin?!?)
