Get active and engaged - register for fall activities 8 THURSDAY,AUGUST 30, 2012 THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2012 THE NEW TANNER THE NEW TANNER 9 Fall is a time for new adventures and activities Summer is over and winter is just around the corner. It's time to get out and enjoy the last few weeks of outdoor activities that don't involve snow and extra layers of clothing. Before it gets too cold, here are some fun family outdoor activities: Go Apple Picking There's something about pulling a bright red apple off the branch that immediately makes you feel one with nature. Many Canadian orchards allow day-trippers to leisurely pick their fill of apples. It's a great deal for all ­ the orchard gets labour that actually pays for the privilege of picking, and you get fresh apple. Rake Leaves The kid down the street would have appreciated $5 to do it for you, but may be worth it to put that neighbourhood kid out of business for good. Play With Pumpkins half the fun ­ kids and adults alike get a kick out of scooping out the insides, roasting the seeds, and carving the shell. You can't beat pumpkin pie made with fresh pumpkin -- or try our ginger-spiced pumpkin pie. Explore the Shopping Mall Fall is an amazing time of year when you're treated to a spectacular array of wonderful colours. We're talking, of course, about the new fall fashions. All the major fashion houses release new lines in the fall. Whether you're adopting a whole new wardrobe, or just getting some new clothes for the winter, fall is the time to do it. And while you're there, check to see if your mall has a mall walker's club ­ so you can exercise and shop in one place. Go Back to School Don't just stare out your window at the kids skipping back to school ­ join them! There are many adult education opportunities in Canada, with most major universities offering continuing education, not to mention the many schools dedicated specifically to the working adult. Autumn is back-to-school time, but back-to-school time isn't just for kids. Marnik Sports Association presents All-Starz Thursday Night Basketball Program At Rockwood Centennial P.S.
