With her weekly pick of fun things to do on the weekend, here is the rundown from Global News Morning’s Kahla Shea.
This weekend will have you believing in all sorts of magic, thanks to these very cool events.
1. Raise a Glass
According to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, CF is the most common, fatal genetic disease for children and young adults in our country.
This weekend in Manitoba, there’s an event where you can help by simply raising a glass.
WATCH: A night out at Fort Gibraltar
The Raise a Glass Wine and Beer Tasting Evening taking place Friday at Fort Gibraltar supports Cystic Fibrosis research.
It’s an evening to sample local breweries and Canadian wineries and snack on tasty dishes crafted with regionally-sourced ingredients.
Plus, there’s also a bonfire and s’mores to end the night.
Tickets are $60 and you can get yours here.
2. The Astonisher
Imagine a magician so astonishing he’s actually called The Astonisher — Gregoire, The Astonisher to be exact.
You can see him for yourself this Saturday at the Magic Club of Winnipeg’s annual Conjurors’ Cabaret on Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Gas Station Theatre.

3. Wheels, Wheels, Wheels
As in the World of Wheels taking over the RBC Convention Centre this weekend.
It’s an annual tradition for many folks, one that I’ve even enjoyed over the years, although I have a super limited knowledge of cars.
