… a favourite family tradition in the Region of Durham Pickering Museum Village Foundation members will be delighted update you on the restoration progress of the Brougham Central Hotel during the annual Fall Family Festival. While it may seem strange that this event is a fundraiser with free admission and free parking, it is sponsored by Veridian Corporation and features sponsored activities such as: Tumbles ‘n’ Toys family pumpkin carving (one pumpkin per family to carve on-site for the first 200). Gates open at noon and the event continues until 4:30 p.m. PineRidge Arts Council members Dorsey James, Anja Knuuttila, Susan Lindo and Gwen Williams will assist and demonstrate carving techniques. TRCA and the Red Cross will have booths with information. The Ajax Rug Hookers, the group that created the replica rug in the Miller-Cole House, will be on hand with sample rugs and tips on creating them. If you missed the 1916 Waterloo Steam Traction Engine this spring don't forget your camera to take a photo of "Princess". There is lots to see in the Steam Barn area. Returning by popular demand are free wagon rides and live music with Stepping in Tyme and Country Friends throughout the village. Heritage life-style demonstrations, food samples, children's pioneer games, and the amazing “Win-What-You-Want” raffle and silent auction will delight the child in all. New this year is an on-line auction for a Wedding gown. There will even be a fashion show. The third annual Rubber Duckie RACE in Duffins Creek will see the duckies at their post at 3:00 p.m. Adopt a duck for the race and you could win $1000! Tickets can be purchased in advance just check pmvf.ca for locations. They will also be available during the Festival and cost $5 each or $10 for three. CASH Prizes are $1000 for first duckie across the finish line, $500 for second and $250 for third. Pickering Museum Village is just off of Hwy #7, between Brock Road and Westney Road.
