| My family and I first discovered your place last year and thought it would be just another
cheesy attempt to scare people. Ya know, rubber masks and jumping out of bushes...that kinda
thing...and when we first arrived I thought we were right. We pulled into the driveway and
saw your amazing farmhouse (which, by the way, is our first choice for a B&B away from the kids
...but thats another adventure!) and thought "This is going to be stupid"!!
We saw the witch first and she was pretty entertaining although I didnt realize how adult
oriented the jokes were till it was too late! Then we hit the train and it was cool!
I wouldnt say I was scared but I was definietly on the edge of my seat! After that it was
off to see Harry Pothead..which was a nice warm break from being outside and we had a good
time sipping hot chocolate and seeing his tricks.
Finally, it was time for the Barn!!! My daughters were 11 and 15 at the time and spent half
the time in line thinking they were the bravest on two legs. As we got closer and heard the
screams, they both turned a little green and suddenly needed the ladies room and wanted to
go for a walk!! ...so into the barn we went. Let me just say that by the time we got out
of that barn, my youngest was crying, my oldest thought she was going to hyperventilate and
I was freaking out!!! We stepped out and looked at each other realizing that we had all
screamed like little girls and clung to each other and we were a little embarrassed...
then we all burst out laughing! It was, by far, the freakiest thing I've ever been through!!!
Thanks and keep up the amazing work!!!

Hey, I just wanted to say I had a blast at Six Pines on adult night. It
was 100x's better than I thought it would be. I had some great scares and
some GREAT laughs at the magic show.

Six Pines Staff
We the children at Bright Beginnings School age centre would like to thank you for the
wonderful learning experience we had at your farm.
We thought the best parts were the maze, and feeding the baby cow (calf). The teachers
loved that staff went further into depth with the educational parts of the trip by discussing
things like how many stomaches the animals had.
Thanks for a great trip.

| Thank you so much for the wonderful tour of your farm. Everyone had such a
memorable and enjoyable time; this is sure to become an annual event!
We were all so impressed with the extra attention all your staff gave to us to
ensure that everyone could be involved. Several of our people experienced new
things, some overcame fears and others simply enjoyed being on your beautiful
grounds.
Our sincere thanks and appreciation to you and your staff for an unforgettable
day!
We can't wait to see you again next year!

I just wanted to thank you so very much for an excellent adventure in
SCARE. The girls, my and I had a great time and will surely be back
for more. You were right with the Barn of Doom. That is the first time
I had 9 girls clinging to me and 50% of them in tears. But when they
left the building, they were laughing. No nightmares after as well, so
that was a bonus. We had access to the picnic tables under cover and
that helped as well since it started to rain.
You and your family have done an excellent job and provided for a
great birthday party. Six Pines not only has a personality all its
own, but very caring and honest people that make it a Manitoba mark!
Respectfully, Sam

| Hi There!
I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how thrilled we were to visit your Halloween Tour this morning!
This wasn't my first visit to Six Pines. I have brought a group of kids out there for the Halloween Tour for the last few years, and I think the 'upgrades' you have made ( the face painting shed, the new pirate ship, the 'countess' house') were amazing! Everything was wonderful, even the weather!
My sister came in from Portage with her family and met us there, and we all had a blast! Captain Hook & Peter Pan were awesome with the children and kept the adults giggling as well. Your face painter was very patient and kind to us all. Your 'chip guy' was pleasant, even with all the orders he was taking care of. The Train of Terror was the scariest 10 minutes of screaming laughter I have ever had.....and a big hug goes to the guy who was very good at his job of scaring the you know what out of us! ;o)
Anyways ....I just wanted to thank you for a job well done! I was proud to take my sister's family to your farm, and plan to send a lot more people your way.
Thanks and Happy Halloween to you all!
Your efforts are appreciated!

I throught it was really cool! Especially the Terror Train! My Mom and Dad want to know the directions to the farm because I can't explain it. If you could e-mail me the direction I would really appreciate it!
Thank-you for the great day!

| Hi James and Judy and all the great helpers of the Halloween Farm Tour.
A great big thank you for the tickets given to me and my friends. We have been promoting your venture and are telling people how much we enjoyed our tour with the kids.
I certainly commend you all on this great venture. I know how much time and effort went into this presentation of Halloween. Babies of all kind are lovely to see and Munchkin Land was great. Beetlejuice kept the kids from getting too cold. Count Dracula was a hit with the kids especially talking to them after the tour... they thought he was a star... the Witch made us all jump. Captain Hook was a hit with our kids especially Kyle who is 2 years old and felt very proud to hold Capt. Hook's sword. Our walk with Little Red Riding Hood was peaceful except for the Big Bad Wolf and making up scarecrows was fun and riding on the hayride was a great way to finish.
Keep it up... how about Christmas now!!!

| Dear Judy & James
We wanted to thank you for making our wedding day very special and memorable.
It was fun for the adults and all the kids. The fresh country air, the barn, the
animals all brought back many memories of our childhood. We had lots of room for
activities for both adults and the kids.
You were more than accommodating, always there to help and answer
questions. We were complimented on many things we did for that day. It couldn't have
happened without you. Your property was a backdrop for beautiful pictures that will
be cherished for many years to come.
We have recommended you for all kinds of events and will continue to do so.
Thank you so very much for making our day a very special one.
Josee & Jason Giesbrecht
