Lots of Inter farm animals were on display at Fall Harvest Days. Scugog Shores Museum Village was blessed with wonderful weather for its Fall Harvest Days which were held on the weekend. An excellent crowd attended the annual event to see local artisans and organizers dem- onstrate techniques from days gone by. The highlight on Saturday was the judging of the 125-Day Handlebar Moustache and Beard Growing Contest. About 20 local gentlemen participated in the museum's Canada 125 fundraising contest. Winners were Donald Gibson for best han- dlebar moustache, Roy Walker Smith for most luxurious, Duncan Campbell for best groomed, Murray Hoskins for most unique Bill Henshall for longest beard and most money raised ($1,100.75). A hearty thank you should go out to the par- ticipants, sponsors, and pledgers for their sup- port ofthe museum. Militia of Upper Canada highlights Sn.
