Last Saturday, our family headed to the annual one-day Franktown, Ontario Lilac Festival.
There were a lot of things to enjoy... Free live music. Free horse-drawn wagon rides that took visitors down Lilac Lane.
This year, a local historian entertained us with stories of the early days of the 200-year-old village. He commented that, although Franktown was an early settlement, its growth later slowed because the railway did not pass through the town.
I always enjoy seeing updates on the repairs to the original stone wall that surrounds the first church built in the community.
It's definitely a labour-intensive job!
(I remember when these completed parts - above - were under renovation a few years back.)
The festival is s busy place: Craft tables. Food for sale. So many fun things to do, see and buy...
A great opportunity to support local crafters - and the church - I purchased a festival t-shirt, a church cookbook, fresh rhubarb, baked goods, burgers - and locally made toys for the kids.
A fun day was had by all!
