And that’s a wrap folks! We ended this season with our annual Harvest Festival.

A big thank you to our vendors who delivered when we asked for great local produce and preserves.

Additional thank you’s to Marven Murray for the fantastic music, to Tony Mitchell for his generous donation to sponsor the event, and Carters Sports Cresting for their donation of the chilli cook off trophy.

Finally, congratulations to Kale Gower for the first place chilli! As well as Terry Hebert for his 50/50 win and Nixon McEachern for winning the jellybean jar!

A final thank you to everyone who has supported us this season, whether it’s been at one of our events, by visiting the museum, or just by liking and sharing one of our posts.

We can’t wait to see you next year ✨

Something new we want to try this year is a chilli cook off! 🍂

We’ve already got two entries and in order for this event to happen at our Harvest Festival we’re looking for at least 2-3 more!

If you or anyone you know is interested, please send us a message!

Stop by Heritage Models this week to view this beautiful painting of the River Hebert and Maccan Baptist Churches.

We were honoured to have it presented to the museum by former pastor of the churches, Rev. Ralph Harpell and current church member Joy Gray last week.

If you had the pleasure of knowing Bud, you undoubtedly knew Marion. Today we're wishing a happy birthday to the woman behind the man behind the models. She may not have built the models herself, but our museum wouldn't exist without her. She put up with Bud's hours spent in the garage, the models sitting on her front lawn, and losing more than one birthday to a Museum opening day.

She would have been 91 today! Happy Birthday Marion! 🎈🎉
