Tiffany Martin
Greeting ghouls and goblins! You might be accustomed to joining me on a journey through the world of craft beers and local brews, but this time, we're venturing into the ghostly and ghoulish realm of Halloween. It's my favourite "holiday", a time when the ordinary takes a haunting turn and yards transform into eerie wonderlands. Today, we're diving into the world of both festively wonderful and spinechilling yard displays and
uncovering the secrets of the South Ward Scare map, all while raising a glass to a couple of Halloweeninspired brews. So, grab your lantern, and let's explore the spectral sights, sips, and sensations that make Halloween so uniquely delightful! South end of Paris, just south of Dundas St and west of the bridge, was once known as the South Ward and with the help of some festive neighbours it is now a chilling wonderland, with houses decorated more and more each year. Whether you're new to the neighbourhood or a seasoned resident, it's time to delve into the spectral sights and sounds of Halloween in Paris, Ontario. Just as Waterford does Pumpkinfest and Elora does MonsterMonth I am hoping to create something similar
and watch it grow each year with added homes, activities and events Introducing Scare Map:
the
South
Ward
Have you heard of the South Ward Scare map? If you're new to town or a longtime resident, it's your ultimate guide to the spirited and decorated houses in the south end. I've put together a virtual map of the "South Ward" region, allowing you to embark on a hairraising drive-thru or a leisurely walk through our neighbourhood to enjoy all the hard work and creativity the neighbourhood has put into this Halloween season. The map can be viewed on your phone and added it to your phone's map app. Just follow the link, and you're one step closer to a night filled with thrills and chills! Continued on page 9 Walk or drive your way through the south end of Paris this Halloween. There are 29 homes on the South Ward Scare Map, pictured to the left. Click anywhere on the image to bring it up in Google Maps. Each click of a ghost gives you a precise address that will be ready for your presence!
