Base31 Community Dig + Art Unveiling

Join Base31 for a free art unveiling and ‘Community Dig’ – an opportunity to discover new artworks, and to come with your shovel and dig up native wildflowers and grasses that Base31 isn’t able to relocate. Our front entrance berm will be dug up as we prepare to bring new water lines to the site and we hope to relocate all the native species that were planted this season. That’s where you come in!

Please bring your own shovel and pot, container or bag to take your transplant item(s) home. The areas to dig will be marked and there will be a check-in with plant identification and guidance. You must register to attend this free community event. Parking is available next to the office building at the Kingsley entrance.

Artworks unveiled include:

Maple Key by Cynthia McQuillan & Kelly Cade
Make-A-Wish by Danielle Reddick
Bee Happy by Mondo Forma

Ameliasburgh Fall Fair 2023

Get ready for a day out you won’t want to miss! Ameliasburgh Fall Fair returns September 23rd and it’s bigger and better than ever.

There’ll be live music from Canadian country music singer/songwriter Becky Elliott, plus performances from Astounding Heights Dance Academy, and Charlie Pianosi. Kids entertainers Daniel the Balloon Genie and Randy the Magicman will be at the Fair to keep the little ones occupied in between the Bike Rodeo, facepainting, and the – new for 2023 – Meet & Bleat Petting Zoo. While the kids are playing detective in the Scavenger Hunt, grownups can enjoy a stroll around our bustling Craft Show and check out the Fair’s Silent (and not-so-silent!) Auctions.

Are you a keen photographer? Is your child a budding artist? Or perhaps grandpa is a whizz in the kitchen and grandma grows the best tomatoes? Whatever talents your family has, there’s sure to be a competition for it in the Ameliasburgh Fall Fair. With 100s of opportunities to win a prize, why not give it a go? You might end up taking home some extra cash, or even a trophy!

There’s so much to see and do at the 2023 Ameliasburgh Fall Fair, and it all kicks off with the 9am Parade of decorated bikes, floats and vehicles of all shapes and sizes! For more info about the Fair, and to find out how you can get involved, visit www.AmeliasburghFallFair.ca
