Harvest Happening coming back to Beamsville
The Fleming Library (Beamsville) of the Lincoln Public Library is participating in the third annual Harvest Happening on October 27 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Check out the Library events:
10:30 a.m. - Reading by young adult author Jean Rae Baxter - in the tent beside the library. Her historical novels include a "Twist of Malice: and the "The Way Lies North". Following her career in education, she moved to Hamilton and writes fulltime.
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - Drop-in harvest craft in the tent.
The Beamsville BIA is busy preparing for its third annual Harvest Happening, returning Saturday, Oct. 27 with some classics and a few new twists.
For the first time, downtown Beamsville, from Mountain to Ontario Streets, will be shut down to vehicular traffic, allowing the festival to spread into King Street. There, dozens of vendors will be set up selling harvest-related items from fresh produce to pies and jams. There will be crafts and games for the kids, a scavenger hunt, pumpkin decorating, face painting and balloon animals. Buskers and musicians will take to King Street, performing for visitors of the festival. The Lincoln fire department will have one of its trucks on hands for the public to tour. “It’s a fun-filled day for children and adults,” said Diane Stephenson, volunteer. “It brings the community together.” That idea was the basis for the event, explained committee member Stephanie Johnston, who was event chair in its inaugrual run. “We wanted to get people downtown and give back to the community,” said Johnston.
There will plenty of giveaways during the Oct. 27 event — from hot chocolate and popcorn to balloon animals and loot bags for the kids. The highlight, said Stephenson, is the children’s costume parade through the downtown, which begins at 10 a.m. Hundreds of children dressed in their Halloween costumes parade from the library into the downtown and back to the library where there will be crafts and a reading by Jean Rae Baxter. Registration for the parade begins at 9:30 a.m.
Volunteers are still needed for the festivities. For information contact Diane Rintjema at 905-563-7117.
