19th century in Rural Runway at the Fall Family Festival.
Concentrating mostly on clothing available in rural areas, our
models feature fashions from 1810 to 1910 and examine how
changes in society were often reflected in the clothing of the
time.
Parking and admission for the event is
free thanks to event sponsor Veridian, but there is a cost to
enter the Horseshoe and Golf activities or adopt a Rubber
Duckie. Other sponsors who help make the day possible are
Coughlan Homes, SmartCentres, GTAA, Marshall Homes, Miller

Pickering Museum Village is just off of
Hwy. 7 between Brock and Westney Road, in the Hamlet of
Greenwood. The event runs from noon to 4:30 p.m.
