Top 3 things to do around Winnipeg the weekend of March 7

With her weekly pick of fun things to do in Winnipeg on the weekend, here is the rundown from Kahla Evans of ‘Global News Morning.‘

From ‘clown’ing around to crunching on crickets, here are some unusual things to do this weekend.

1. Crunching on crickets

The seventh annual Love Local Manitoba – Food, Beer and Wine Tasting Event is the place to sip, snack, sample and shop this weekend.

The event features Manitoba grown, made and produced products that cover everything from classic perogies to tasty crickets.

Our own Abigail Turner took a tour before the show:

3. Cheering on the ICE

It’s International Women’s Day on Sunday and both the Manitoba Moose and the Winnipeg Jets are celebrating with Gender Equality games on Friday and Saturday.

The games are a chance to celebrate the women making a difference in the hockey world.

The Jets Gender Equality game is Friday at 8 p.m. against the Vegas Golden Knights.

4:31 Offside is a book about the challenges faced by women in the sport of hockey

The Moose Gender Equality game is Saturday at 6 p.m. against the Iowa Wild.

Not only will our Global News Morning team of Gabby Marchand, Corey Callaghan and Abigail Turner be there cheering on the Moose, but yours truly has been invited as a guest announcer for the game and I am beyond excited!

So, if you see us there, come say ‘hi’!
