Ysselstein's cheese and a Hill talking about canoes
By Mark Schadenberg
The word ‘faire’ in French means ‘to make’.
The Woodstock Public Library is planning a ‘fair’ over three days to
recognize making or creating.
Logical name for this fair, therefore, is Maker Faire, and it’s slated
for Sept 27 - 29 at the library on Hunter Street.
Several 30-minute sessions are organized for those days between 2-4
p.m., ranging from photography to canoe making, cheese making to costumes, and recipes
to theatre to art.
The event’s poster notes that it’s an opportunity to “see unique
creations and engage in a conversation about their work.”
In an attempt to make this sound like a WWE card, scheduled to appear includes
Shep Ysselstein from Gunn’s Hill Cheese, canoe maker Jeff Hill, photographer
Cathy Bingham, language expert Jenny Gray, plus Kim and Janet Watson from
Woodstock’s newest children’s acting troupe called Enchanted Theatre.
See the library website at www.woodstock.library.on.ca,
call them at (519) 539-4801 or simply visit the book suppository at 445 Hunter
Street.
A Carnegie Library
Many activities are offered for readers of all ages – book clubs and
story time – research and collaboration for folks in their fifties, and
colouring and picture books for tots under five. In November and on Andrew
Carnegie’s birthday, the library will announce the book and speaker for
Woodstock Reads 2014. The actual two book clubs meet the first Thursday of
every month and the list of current selections is also noted on the website.
I recently spend time at the library wrestling with the microfilm as
it was my annual trek to research pertinent details (verify and visualize) for
the Woodstock sports wall of fame and the next induction ceremony on Oct. 26.

Committee event.
Discover Woodstock's Amenities
Once again, a Woodstock destination is offering something extra.
There is also studio time and classes at the Downtown art gallery and many
on-going and rotating displays at the Woodstock museum on Dundas.
Lots to see and do.
