Read Dean Gunnarson's Facebook post from August 25 and watch his mini-tour of Philip's Magical Paradise in Giroux (just south of Winnipeg). It opened in 1991 as a tribute to Marilyn and
Gordon Hornan's youngest son, Philip Hornan. Philip was a magic enthusiast who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15.
From Dean's video, it sounds as if the museum is set to close forever, unless one of you out there has an idea on how to keep it alive.
