Homemade Jam
2010 festival schedule

 

Join us at the Homemade Jam Tent for an old-fashioned session — all sweetness and no calories. Bring an instrument, your own voice or even your kitchen spoons. Everyone is welcome to participate. In days gone by, we'd see this kind of musical event in many kitchens and parish halls across the province. There will be a session leader to start the dipper boiling and get everyone going, but we are confident there won't be much nudging required. Be part of the festival — live our traditions.
