Forget Sunday Funday, the real action will be on Saturday at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre Best Fest.

Activities will include pumpkin carving, archery, kite building and flying, craft workshops, games and the family favourite bonfire with s’mores.

The centre's Harris’ hawk - Stephen Hawking - will also be present.

Those who arrive in a costume will be entered into the costume contest.

Prizes for those in attendance include turkeys for a holiday feast, family memberships and stuffed animals.

The Real Pizza food truck will be on site for the entire event that runs from 1-6 p.m.

Executive Director Aaron Deans said when it gets dark, "We’ll light up our pumpkins for a spooky pumpkin walk with stories on the nature trail."

Admission is by donation.
