The Glengarry Wood Fair is TOMORROW!  Tents are up, there are over 50 lots of wood in the auction and more are being delivered. Excitment is in the air, so make sure to come out from 10:00 - 5:00 on Saturday.

For the second consecutive year, wood lovers are invited to come and enjoy the magic of wood. The Glengarry Wood Fair and Auction takes place Saturday, August 21, 2010 and is a joint venture between the Glengarry Pioneer Museum and the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Certified Forest Owners Inc.

Wood has been a huge ingredient in the lives of Pioneers and the shaping of this country. The Glengarry Wood Fair will showcase all aspects of forestry and the crafting of wood products then and now. Discuss planting a woodlot with forestry professionals, or watch demonstrations of all the wood arts from turner and carver to timber framer or the chainsaw carver. Travel back in time and view the Glengarry Pioneer Museum's collection of antique wood handling and crafting tools.

The fair has three primary objectives: To serve as an outlet for wood artisans to showcase the beautiful artwork they create; To serve as an outlet for woodlot owners to sell their wood and learn about forest stewardship; To promote and attract new visitors to the Glengarry Pioneer Museum.

The Glengarry Pioneer Museum is a beautiful backdrop for the event; situated in the rural hamlet of Dunvegan, the museum is home to nine heritage log and timber frame buildings - a reminder of the importance wood has played in our history with the Wood Fair as a reminder of its continued importance to Canada's identity.
