’The Historical Society will be especially interested in seeing antique kitchen items, as we are putting together a display for Omemee Pioneer Days about Kitchens of Yester-Year,’ noted Marlyne Fisher-Heasman, President of the Omemee and District Historical Society. Marlyne added: ‘We would be very grateful for loans of any items that are not made of glass. Glass items really are great treasures, and would be better kept in people's homes.'Kitchens of Yester–Year will be on display on the stage at the Coronation Hall during the Omemee Lioness Breakfast on July 2nd, and until the end of the Coronation Hall Birthday Party,which wraps up at 3 p.m. the same day. If you have a kitchen item, you would be willing to loan for the display, please bring it out to the Omemee Historical Society Meeting on June 12th, or contact Marlyne at 705-799-5767.
Pioneer days will be especially busy for Omemee Historical Society, as they are also hosting the birthday party for the Coronation Hall, which turns 100 this year. The birthday party will include cake, ice-cream, and party souvenirs. Watch for more details to follow.
