Misting Fans in Canada?

[daver]

I am looking to pick up one or two of those misting fans before our trip..... Does anyone know what store in Canada ( Nova Scotia if poss. ) carry them? I tried Wal-Mart but I might as well be looking for a needle in a haystack.
Any help would be great!

Hi, I actually found one at Wal-Mart but it was a complete waste of money - the thing fell apart the first day I used it and the fan was not strong enough to provide any relief unless I misted (which was more like just spraying). I would just buy one once you are down there, they are probably better quality. The only other place I think you might find them is Superstore or maybe a travel goods store?

Not sure if you are going to DW or DL, but they have them all over the place in DL and at the hotel gift shops there. Cost was 9.99 I think.

Going to DW ? Thanks though... we'd like to get to DL someday..... it's a looong way from NS

I bought 3 misty mates on ebay for $45.00. These are not fans but misters, they work awesome!!

I checked Walmarts and many other stores last summer when we were going in August but I couldn't find them anywhere in NS (from Sydney to Halifax). We did get them at Walmart in Orlando once we got there. I don't think they carry them around here. You will need them though!!

I just picked one up yesterday from Walmart (in the GTA though)...they were located with the fans, although they used to be near the sporting goods.

I'm not sure if we're all talking about the same ones, but I sort of agree with allissimmo; the fan is weak (with rechargeable batteries) and the "misting" is more like squirting. But for $3, I wasn't expecting much.

Do they sell them at WDW? I know we'll need them for our trip in a couple of weeks but I'd rather spend a bit more for a better mister if they have them there.

if you have dollarama, they had them there last week...bought 1 for DS to play with and it is actually holding up (he's 4). not sure if each dollarama carries all the same stuff though...we are in Sarnia, ON....it's worth a look (found them with the kids summer toys)
