Too much fun is not enough!

Uh-oh its almost Friday and you've still got no plans for the weekend. What to do...what to do?

Laser tag, go karts, batting cages, arcade games...sound appealing enough? Its time to check out the Windsor Family Fun Center!

I can't possibly stress enough how refreshing it is after writing an essay to go and shoot some of your friends...er..well not literally. Maybe it'd feel better to invite the people you don't like...talk about de-stressing. Despite being specifically told not to, enjoy running around the 3 level complex chasing after your friends or your enemies attempting to shoot them with a pretty cool looking laser gun. Get lost in the largest laser tag maze around!

Okay, so your no James Bond and firing a gun just doesn't appeal to you. Why not put the pedal to the metal and go cruising out around the Go Kart track located just outside. I mean who doesn't love whipping around corners and "accidently" bumping into the people around you. You can feel the wind in your hair...or at least your face as you go zoomin' around this awesome track.

So you don't like shooting people or driving fast? Really, what do you enjoy? Fluffy teddy bears? If so then you're still at the right place! Why not check out the Bear Making Factory, where you can choose a furry friend, fill 'em with fluff, dress 'em up and take 'em home!!

Still not your type of fun? Maybe you've got a lot of pent up anger...why not unleash your fury at the batting cages! Nothing says relaxation like protecting yourself from the unrelenting force of a softball traveling at top speeds. Choose from slow softball pitch or fastball hardball pitch.

Maybe a nice relaxing game of Glo Golf is your cup of tea. Head over to the Lauzon Rd. location to play 18 holes of your choice of themed room. Choose from Jurassic, Jungle, Egypt, or Underwater themed rooms to putt your way to victory.

With so many choices there's bound to be something for everyone!!

Looking for a great way to spend time with the family? Or a better date idea than dinner and a movie? Why not head out to Colasanti's Tropical Gardens!!

Located in Ruthven Ontario, (between Leamington and Kingsville) this place has got it all. With 15 greenhouses there is plenty of plant life to pick up for your home.

Colasanti's Tropical Gardens is home to an extraordinary range of animals, including alligators, bats, lemurs, donkeys, deer, tropical birds, snakes, turtles and fish. You can even feed many of the animals including goats, deer, and llamas.

When you're done checking out the furry and the not-so furry, give your hands a good wash then grab something to eat at the restaurant. With tons of choices on the menu theres sure to be something for everyone.

Ready for dessert? Stop by one of the small shops within and pick yourself up some fresh homemade fudge, grab an ice cream, or get your fill of candy.

Now that you've got your sugar rush head on over to the arcade and mini-golf area. Get goofy on the goofy golf course for less than $4 per person!

Bump, Set, SPIKE!!

Inspired by today's gorgeous weather I have decided that this shall be about one particularly fun sport...VOLLEYBALL. After spending much time this past year playing both indoor and beach volleyball, I feel that it is time for me to share this great sport with others.

Not big on sports or exhausting physical activity? Fortunately for you, volleyball is not a very physically demanding sport. If it was people wouldn't play drunk.

Got your attention but you don't know where to play around here?


Some of the best beach volleyball courts include the outdoor courts at Windsor Squash and Fitness Club, as well as both the indoor and outdoor courts at Sandcastle Recreation Complex.

Raining on your parade? Sandcastle has indoor sand courts!! So its like being outside without actually being outside! There are also hard floor courts to be played on as well.

What's better than getting a bunch of friends together for a couple of hours to play some v-ball? Plus with Sandcastle's low rates ($40 per hour) it works out to be incredibly feasibile on the low-income of a bunch of students.

And hey, if you're playing with a bunch of your friends you don't have to worry about being good or looking cool because its all in good fun!

Stephen Gibb comes to A'burg!

So its not exactly Windsor per say, but the fact that a well-renowned artist has made his way to little old Amherstburg is something that needs to be noted. As a proud Amherstburg-ian I am delighted to inform you that artist Stephen Gibb is currently hosting an exhibit of his works at the Gibson Gallery in downtown Amherstburg. His exhibit entitled "There Goes the Neighbourhood" is likely to incorporate pieces that comment on life's frequent emotions and complexities. He makes good use of attractive and bright colours to draw in admirers.



His pieces, like the one on the left entitled "The King's Breakfast", maintain ideas of irony and tend to be quite humourous. I myself have been fortunate to see his works displayed in local bars in Windsor such as Milk Coffee Bar, and Phog Lounge, during "The (not so) Premature Evacuation" exhibit last June.

Stuck in Amherstburg? An admirer of art? Fan of Gibb? Visit this exhibit to re-gain a sense of humour in our whttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.giforld. Too exhausted from hard work to drive out to "The Burg"? Check out his works online at http://www.stephengibb.com.

This exhibit runs until September 30th at the Gibson Gallery located at 140 Richmond St. Amherstburg. Call for directions at 519-736-2826.
