There will be log - sawing by Jim Sloan of Chesley and rope -making by Ben Madill of Mississauga. A consignment auction will take place at 3 p.m., with 54 THE RURAL VOICE members being allowed to consign up to four items each.

Two local tours will also be available to enjoy. The first tour will be of the Log House belonging to the Weaver family containing family furniture and items from years gone by. The second tour takes in a hand - weaving fabrics studio, featuring custom-made clothing from hand- woven fabrics by Gladys Sinclair.
