Hey there, time traveller!

The community of Wasagaming was overflowing with Riding Mountain National Park visitors who showed up to help celebrate the community’s Homecoming 2010 weekend.
Park officials estimate around 7,500 showed up for Saturday night’s free outdoor concert featuring Manitoba performers Doc Walker and Sierra Noble.
Kevin Bachewich, Riding Mountain National Park’s media officer and co-organizer of the festival along with Manitoba Homecoming representatives, was thrilled with the weekend’s success.
"We’re just really happy with the outcome. We had such a great turnout. It was a huge success in bringing people into the park."
On the warm, sunny Saturday, Bachewich said he heard nothing but good comments from park visitors.
"Everybody had a great time. The weather co-operated and it was a very awesome time," he said.
Other events taking place over the homecoming weekend were Boo in the Park — an early trick-or-treating session — interpretive activities, campfires, hay rides, a sand sculpture contest and a car caravan.
