Cross Country Quilt Tour Chapter 2
In the first installment we saw a picture of the Stephen Lewis Foundation 20th Anniversary quilt: the entire quilt, from afar. Now the quilt has actually arrived in Fenelon Falls and we can see the breath taking reality and the minute details. It was featured at Moonlight Madness at the Lil Wee Quilt Shoppe on Saturday June 24.
Meet the Museum Gardens!
We are certain you have been out to #ExploreFenelon these past few weeks! The sun is shining, the lake is calling, and patios are open for all to enjoy. One of our favourite spots in town, and I am sure you can all say the same, is the Maryboro Lodge!
St James Church Garden Collaborates on Food Bank Youth Project
St. James Anglican Church is excited to embark on a collaborative project with the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society to grow fresh produce in the Community Garden for the Food Bank. The church donated 7 raised beds in the Community Garden to be tended by dedicated youth from Langton Public School and Fenelon Falls Secondary School. Church members also volunteered time and donated plants to get things started.
Victory at the Maryboro Lodge
Article submitted by Judy Kennedy, Photos submitted by Carol Milroy
For the past four years, the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society has partnered with the Fenelon Falls Museum to grow and provide fresh produce to our local food bank at the Salvation Army Citadel. We named it the “Victory Garden”, as our effort to take a lesson from history during the first and second world wars, when towns and cities and homeowners transformed parkland and their backyards into vegetable gardens, to support the war effort. So, on that note, here is some history of the Victory Garden.
Allen Wood Toy Products
Submitted by Ashleigh Picard - Tourism Ambassador
There is probably a good chance you grew up playing with a set of Tinker Toys. The wood circles and sticks are an icon in most Fenelon Falls childhood memories, as Tinker Toys were made right here in the Jewel of the Kawarthas. During the ’50s and ’60s, Allen Wood Products Ltd. operated near the waterfront, creating a variety of wooden toys including bowling, croquet, ring toss and the iconic Tinker Toys.
