Fans quickly reacted to his post giving him ideas of what to do and places to check out while he’s in town.
“Might I recommend eating at Deer & Almond if you’re looking for fancy eats one night,” said one fan. Henry quickly responded saying he ate there years ago while in Winnipeg.
Another fan encouraged Winkler to go fishing for catfish in Lockport, while someone else suggested he have someone take him to Oak Hammock in the dark to see the stars at night.
Several others asked Winkler to check out the Winnipeg Blue Bombers west final game against Saskatchewan, with one fan asking the CFL to provide Henry with tickets to the game.
The film began shooting in Winnipeg in October and will continue throughout December.
