Celebrate the heart of the summer harvest season with a good old-fashioned Corn Roast on Sunday, August 17 from 10 am to 4 pm at Lang Pioneer Village Museum! It will be a day filled with summer harvest-themed fun that the whole family is sure to enjoy. Hop aboard a horse-drawn wagon ride and tour the historic village in style as you discover the many ways early settlers used corn. View a variety of summer harvest-related demonstrations including threshing, bagging, fanning mill, corn husk braiding, and corn shelling.

Throughout the village there will be a variety of historic demonstrations on display, including natural dyeing using
native plants, flop mattress repairing and stuffing, stitching with the Northumberland Hills Stitchery Guild, weaving on
the Jacquard loom, wood turning with the Kawartha Woodturners Guild and the Peterborough Artisan Centre Wood
Turners, rug hooking with the Northumberland Rug Hookers, grinding at the Grist Mill, and more.
Stop and rest for a while as you enjoy some steaming fire-cooked corn smothered in butter at the fire pit, or visit the
Keene Hotel for a sweet treat and cold beverage. The Keene Lions Club food truck will be located in the Peterborough
County Agricultural Heritage Building courtyard selling BBQ goods (cash only), and Ben’s Kettle Corn will be popping
up fresh kettle corn. If you are feeling adventurous, enter the corn-on-the-cob eating contest taking place on the
Village Green at 2 pm. Be sure to stop by the Cheese Factory for some fresh Empire Cheese curd and bread to take
home with you.

Check out the many entries that were submitted for the Peterborough Agricultural Society’s Homecraft Show in the
Peterborough County Agricultural Heritage Building. Participate in some old-fashioned schoolyard games, and make a
summer harvest craft at the Ayotte Cabin. Listen to summer harvest songs being played on the organ in the Glen Alda
Church, and enjoy traditional music performed by Glen Caradus on the Weaver Shop porch.
