A Heritage Christmas
Originated at the local Heritage Grist Mill eight years ago, A Country Christmas Remembered has expanded into a community-wide event. Incorporating many of the businesses and organizations in the village, A County Christmas Remembered showcases the quality of life in Spencerville.
We invite you to take a step back in time and place, to the 1930s in a small rural village at Christmas time. This was a simpler time, when the focus was on family and the community. People made do with what was on hand or did without. Christmas gifts were whimsical, or practical and hand made. Music was entertainment, whether played on the radio, made around the kitchen table or trilled from the choir loft. Social events revolved around the school and the church and almost always involved sharing the bounty of the farm and fields.
A Country Christmas Remembered offers a wealth of activities that evoke the memories of this time in our recent past. In fact, no other pre-Christmas festival in Eastern Ontario offers a similar range of old fashioned family fun, food, crafts, displays, shopping, and entertainment.
With so many activities to enjoy over the three-day festival, consider staying in the area, so you won't miss out on any of the fun.
Come savour the sights, scents and sounds of A Country Christmas Remembered.
