Halloween, 1940: 3 women carve out a pumpkin, fill it with treats + a ring, a key, and a slipper. Find the slipper - go on a journey, find the ring - get married, and the person who found the key would just have a happy year. 📸: The Winnipeg Evening Tribune

Next year, Winnipeg turns 150 and we've got something great planned - 15 episodes, covering 15 historical figures! 15 episodes is also a lot of work for us to take on, so we will be taking January-April off of releasing regular episodes. Patreon is still active monthly, though!
