86 Princess St. 613-546-0305 http://www.sasonline.comThis year’s Dry Stone Canada Festival, on September 14 and 15, will be
hosted by The Lodge, a beautiful cottage resort near the ferry on Amherst
Island. Amherst Island has the largest known concentration of historic
Irish dry stone walls in Canada. This year, master wallers from around the
world will create a lakeside seating area. There is a tremendous feeling of
excitement as these experts
pool their skills and their energy
and joke around as they work.
In addition to watching them,
you can check out various
workshops. The festival also
includes food and craft vendors,
heritage and community booths
and a waller area for youth. The
presentation tent features a
slideshow of Canadian and international projects and evening talks. Visit
the Dry Stone Interpretation and Learning Centre for information on dry
stone craft and structures worldwide and particularly the Irish settler walls
of Amherst Island.
In partnership with various community groups, Dry Stone Canada
members assist in the restoration of existing structures or build new ones
through workshop initiatives. Come and learn about a heritage trade, and
connect with the welcoming Amherst Island community. This unique,
creative festival is free except for the two-day adult workshops. The Lodge is
located at 320 McDonald’s Lane, Stella. http://www.drystonecanada.com.Dry Stone Canada Festival
