Setting a Good Table: Recipes from the Tobacco Farm
Saturday June 8 – 1 to 4 p.m.
Without a doubt, women were very important on the tobacco farm. Not only did they labour as much and as hard as the men, but they were also responsible for keeping the team fed. Many of these recipes had to be hearty, easy, inexpensive and delicious. We will try our hand at a few of the more common, a few of the unusual and see when we sample, imaging how good it must have tasted after a hard day’s work.
Pre-registration Required.
Registration Fee: $35/person (From Delhi Tobacco Museum & Heritage Centre website)

Craft Show & Sale
August 17-18, 2019 10:00 - 5:00 "What a great summer event! For over 30 years Coyle’s has been the venue for a June craft show. Vendors from all over Ontario are given the opportunity to sell their handmade crafts – everything from needlework to jewellery, garden and patio accessories and of course, the ever popular scrumptious homemade treats. Coyle’s anticipates hosting over 40 vendors again this year many of whom will also attend the Fall Craft show in August. Started 10 years ago with only a handful of vendors, this growing show has now tripled in size offering the same variety craft-lovers delight in. New vendors welcome." (From Coyle's website) |
