2009-11-22 O'Hara Display at the Madoc Fall Fair

Katie Hinchcliffe, one of our 2009 interns, and her mother did a delightful job of representing the O'Hara Volunteers Association and the O'Hara Mill Homestead at the 2009 Madoc Fall Fair.  An amazing presentation was created using flowers and produce from the O'Hara Mill Homestead gardens and the gardens of O'Hara Volunteer Association members. 

Visitors to the display underscored the continuing community interest in the O'Hara Mill Homestead with their comments and donations.
