31 · Friday, February 12, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com Looking at Ford across the years Halton Region Museum will celebrate Heritage Day -- Sunday, Feb. 21 -- with an open house entitled All Things Ford and Telling Stories. The exhibits will be open from 2-5 p.m. This year visitors will be treated to two special events: All Things Ford ­ the story from the people who worked at the Oakville Plant and Telling Stories, an inspiring collection of sculptures by local artist Nancy Cuttle (www.nancycuttle.ca). "I invite everyone to visit the Halton Region Museum on Heritage Day," said Gary Carr, Halton Regional chair. "Whether you are a former employee of the Ford Oakville Assembly Plant, still work at Ford or are just interested in learning more about an important player in Halton's heritage, the All Things Ford event promises a fascinating inside glimpse into Ford's past." From 2 to 4 p.m., All Things Ford will provide visitors with a chance to hear employees talk about what it was like to work at the plant from the early 60s right up to today. Former historical consultant for Ford Oakville, Sandy Notarianni, will provide an overview of the history of the company. Former employee Irene Saunders, along with others, will share personal experiences. The Henry Ford's Dreams Club and other collectors will be on hand with memorabilia. Ford vehicles will be displayed on the museum's patio. "You can bring your own stories and join in the fun of recalling some of those great moments in Ford history," said Nancy Field, Halton's manager of heritage services. "Then gather in the Visitor Centre at 4 p.m. for the opening of Nancy Cuttle's exhibition, Telling Stories." Nancy Cuttle has been communicating through her works of art, including painting, drawing and sculpting for almost three decades. She has won numerous awards in premier juried exhibitions in the Greater Toronto Area. Following the opening, meet the artist and enjoy a reception in the Halton Art Gallery. The Halton Region Museum is located inside Kelso Conservation Area in Milton at the base of the Glen Eden Ski Hills.
