ness one of the largest horse-drawn wagon and carriage parades in Eastern Ontario led by the Quigley Pipe Band at 1:30 p.m., this year numbering at least 20. Visitors with a flair for pioneer fashion are invited to come dressed in period attire and compete for prizes as best dressed and/or most unique costume. If you bring your prized zucchini, you can also compete for the biggest, best decorated or most unique zucchini. There will be music by several local groups and a full range of children’s pioneer activities, including a petting zoo throughout the day. Barb Newman, the organizer of the Har- vest Sale Tent at the Festival is putting out a special call for donations of preserves, lo- cal produce, baked goods, and plants. “It’s a chance for members of the community to share preparations from their old family recipes and to bring their heritage plants for the gardens of others. The harvest tent is a very special feature of the Festival and is another way to raise funds for the Museum.” Barb can be contacted at 527-1944 or do- nations can be dropped off at the Pioneer Museum (527-5230). For the second weekend, September 23 and 24, the Glengarry Light Infantry Fenci- bles will return with several other regiments to the Pioneer Museum, some of them ac- companied by their families. On both Sat- urday and Sunday visitors will be treated to a full-scale battle between the “British and Americans” at 3 p.m., a military fashion show with explanation at 1 p.m. continuous regimental drilling, special children’s 1812 activities, music, and a noon-day cannon. Reenactors and their families will be biv- ouacked on site in traditional tents.
