The Western Development Museum (WDM) held a Halloween Come & Go in Costume event on the weekend, directed by the WDM Education and Public Programs Co-ordinator Karla Rasmussen.
Families came together to enjoy the weekend sightseeing all of the archived museum artifacts on display. Activities for the children included bowling, throwing balls into baskets, and drawing activities. All the children were delighted to participate in the activities co-ordinated by volunteers of the museum.
Kellan and Taylor Mickleborough came with their children to enjoy the weekend. “We come here all the time and this time it’s special because it’s our youngest daughter’s birthday,” said Kellan.
The museum’s main attractions are the Canada Pacific archival trains and the archive of the Snowbirds. Families gathered around in these two archives to take photographs with their children and to get on some of the trains. The best thing about the museum activities is they designed for visitors of all age's enjoyment.
The WDM’s focus of this Halloween-themed event was to collect donations of canned cat food for the Moose Jaw Humane Society. Visitors were asked to bring a can of cat food and receive an exclusive WDM button featuring a vintage black cat design.
