Also on July 1, the Harriston Historical Society will be kicking off its display at the Harriston-Minto Heritage Gallery. The display will run until Aug. 28 at the gallery, a non-profit, volunteer-run art gallery founded in 1996 and opened in 1997. The gallery is committed to showcasing local and distant artistic talent collections, along with historical and educational displays.
On July 1 and 2, WildThings Plant Farm will offer its “Canada Day, Eh! Garden Party.” Billed as an “all-Canadian summertime bash,” the free event will feature a giant native plant sale as well as garden art, music and food. The farm is located at 9688 Baseline Road in Minto.
