The Wood Fair is a joint venture of the Glengarry Pioneer Museum, the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Certified Forest Owners Inc. and Boisés Est.

Wood has been a huge ingredient in the lives of pioneers and the shaping of this country. The Glengarry Wood Fair and Wood Auction showcases all aspects of forestry and the crafting of wood products, then and now. Discuss tree planting and woodlot management with forestry professionals, or watch demonstrations of the wood arts from turning and carving to timber framing and chainsaw operating. Travel back in time and view the Glengarry Pioneer Museum's collection of antique wood handling and crafting tools.

The Wood Fair has three primary objectives:

• To serve as an outlet for wood artisans to showcase the beautiful artwork they create;
• To serve as a market for woodlot owners to sell their wood and demonstrate 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 10 heritage log and timber frame buildings - a reminder of the importance wood has played in our history, with the Wood Fair as a demonstration of its continued importance to Canada's identity.

Bring your family, bring your friends, there will be something for all ages!
