July 20, 2024: Tartan Days !!

July 20, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 2:00 pm

Tartan Days in Glencoe, over the past several decades, has been a unique opportunity for the community to celebrate its Gaelic heritage and allow the people of Glencoe and area to get involved in local activities and have some fun. For us this year, we decided to host an open house event at the ARCHIVES. It was a truly historic Saturday for the Glencoe and District Historical Society. After numerous visitors made their way to the Archives throughout the morning, a ceremony was held at 1:00 pm, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of the Village of Glencoe, the belated 200th anniversaries of the Townships of Mosa and Ekfrid, the 170th anniversary of arrival of the first train in Glencoe and the 45th anniversary of the Society itself.

G&DHS also had a booth out near the Glencoe Train Station beside the  Old Auto magazine. CJ Frederick, who has written a beautiful historical novel about a local boy, joined the booth offering local readers a sneak peak to her first full length historical fiction novel, Rooted & Remembered.  The author’s parents and husband were on hand to  help CJ Frederick get this new book into the hands of readers.

Looking for readers :

We are sneaking a peak at Rooted and Remembered, a new book that is starting to circulate for early reviews and preparation for hard launch, October 23, 2024.

Rooted & Remembered is $20 for a signed author’s copy.  The historical society is promoting the book and helping the author get authentic reviews, the currency of marketing books in today’s world.   Book launch is October 23. 

 

We will aso show you how to download Peter McArthur’s books digitally to your tablet at no cost.

 

Teaming up with Old Autos

Look for our booth shared with Old Autos.
For over 35 years Old Autos has been Canada’s Number #1 Newspaper for the Old Car Enthusiast. Each issue is jam packed with interesting articles and pictures from some of Canada’s most notable automotive writers. Several writers contribute regularly about antique cars, classic cars, race cars, muscle cars, trucks, tractors, bikes, and nostalgia etc., etc. Not only does each issue have informative articles, car show reports, car club tours, auction results, but a large classified section and events listing covering events from Newfoundland to British Columbia to Ontario.
Old Autos is published the first and third Mondays of each month in Bothwell Ontario, a small Southwestern Ontario town of 900 people. Circulation is for both mailed and online papers. Most of Old Autos newspapers are read by yearly subscribers, but we do have some retailers.
Currently seven full-time staff produce Old Autos Newspaper twice monthly. Old Autos prides itself on small-town personal service, so when you call you will always speak to a ‘real’ person. You will never get ‘voice mail’ and you will always receive personal service…during regular business hours.
Old Autos attends many shows throughout Canada, with several sales people who sell subscriptions at shows and events.
