Here are a few ideas:

• Shop local businesses and explore downtown Clifford
• Grab dinner or a snack from local favourites like Dell's Diner, Clifford Takeout, or Clifford Snack Shack
• Take a self-guided Downtown Historical Walking Tour through the Driftscape app
• Walk local trails and enjoy the spring scenery
• Visit nearby communities throughout Minto for shopping, dining, and small-town exploring

We’ll share updates on the Facebook Event Page if evening flying is confirmed.
