Homestead Days hosting old-fashioned activities this weekend

The BC Day long weekend will be perfect for PG residents to step back in time.

Huble Homestead is hosting its two-day Homestead Days event Sunday and Monday.

The organization’s longest running event celebrates life on the homestead over a hundred years ago by taking in the sights, sounds, and activities of a bygone era.

Operations Manager, Krystal Leason told MyPGNow.com there should be something for everyone.

“Some of those things are on the old fashioned games and races for all ages. We have eating contests for both kids and adults. We have a lot of heritage demonstrations going on as well.”

“We are making butter and ice cream, we also have cheese-making. The black smith shop will be running and we also have some our staff working special skills like crochet as well as Aly about making her own fragerences.”

During the holiday Monday, the black powder shooters aim and fire at targets in the back field.

Homestead Days run from 10:30am to 4pm each day.
