Parents looking for something a little different to do with the kids this fall can head to Port Credit later this month for an afternoon of farm animals, crafts, entertainment, and a rather unusual prize.<\/p>\n

Fall\u2019N The Port is taking over Brant Avenue on Saturday, Oct. 24, with a free, family-friendly celebration running from noon to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest attractions for kids could be the chance to meet a collection of farm animals, including alpacas, goats, rabbits and a donkey.<\/p>\n

There will also be face painting, crafts and live entertainment from buskers, giving families plenty to see and do as they explore Port Credit.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the most intriguing part of the afternoon will require a little detective work.<\/p>\n

Event organizers are hiding 30 scarecrows throughout participating Port Credit businesses, and families are invited to hunt them down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Visitors can pick up a scarecrow hunt map at the BIA tent before setting out through the neighbourhood to find and identify all 30.<\/p>\n

Those who complete the hunt can enter a draw for a Family Prize Pack and the grand prize comes with an especially memorable experience: a chance to ride a unicorn\u2026or at least a reasonable facsimile.<\/p>\n

The event is also designed to get families moving through the Port Credit business district, with visitors encouraged to explore and support local shops and businesses along the way.<\/p>\n

Fall\u2019N The Port runs from noon to 4 p.m. on Brant Avenue.<\/p>\n

Families heading to the event should also be aware of a temporary road closure.<\/p>\n

Brant Avenue North at Lakeshore Road East will be closed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., extending north to the first laneway. Organizers are advising motorists to watch for event signage and plan their routes accordingly.<\/p>\n

With the fall colours arriving and Halloween just around the corner, the event offers families a chance to get outside, explore Port Credit and turn an ordinary Saturday afternoon into a bit of an adventure.<\/p>\n

And for one lucky family, the adventure could end with a unicorn ride.<\/p>\n
