Grade Eight Ghost Walk

The Great 8's were treated to a special Halloween evening in Victoria. Under the light of an almost full moon, the event began with ghost stories as we followed a guided tour through the oldest part of downtown Victoria. We learned about the history of many historic buildings and the ghosts who occupy them to this day! Of particular interest was the Rogers' Chocolates store founders and the story about their son, Freddie. Dinner at the Macaroni Grill was fantastic and we were happy to sit down and warm-up! It was family style dining, so we felt right at home. Following dinner, we ended our outing with a vampire movie at Silvercity. The bus ride home over the Malahat was quite calm as we had experienced a very busy Saturday and were ready to crash. Well done Great 8's!
