We have been invited to demonstrate rug hooking at 2 different September events at Lang Pioneer Village.  Please let us know if you're available to join in the fun - email us at nrhookers@gmail.com.

Applefest - Sunday September 10 from 10 am to 4 pm.  This is a wonderful day, focussed on the harvest season.  It will feature:

  • Horse & wagon rides
  • Threshing demonstrations
  • Cider Mill demonstrations
  • Live music
  • Antique clock and timepiece display by the Quinte Timekeepers

We will be demonstrating rug hooking, and....will be dressed in victorian costume (supplied by Lang).  It's a fun day!

Traditional Fall Fair - Sunday September 24 from 10 am to 4 pm.  This is a big event, celebrating Canada 150:

The County of Peterborough, our eight townships and our two First Nation communities will come together to celebrate Canada 150+ and the 50th Anniversary of Lang Pioneer Village Museum with a traditional county fair with a modern twist! 
  • View the Village and surrounding countryside from your seat at the top of a giant Ferris Wheel!
  • Bouncy castles
  • Obstacle course
  • Contests and games for everyone (three-legged races, sack races, etc.)
  • Live entertainment provided by each township on the Village stage throughout the day
  • First Nations activities in Aabnaabin Camp
  • Official Ceremonies to open the County of Peterborough Agricultural Building, Celebrate Canada 150+ and the 50th Anniversary of Lang Pioneer Village Museum
  • Horse and wagon rides
