As the Huble Homestead Historic Site opens its 2013 season this weekend, events today and tomorrow will highlighting pioneer spring traditions.  Operations Manager, Krystal Leason, says the garden will be planted; there will be butter-making and blacksmithing demonstrations; crafts and games for the kids; and everybody can participate in a May pole dance.

In addition to the regular BBQ fare, Leason says the homestead will host a high tea to mark Victoria Day tomorrow.  Musician Ragu Lokanathan will be on-site this afternoon, and will be playing with the acoustic group ‘So long, Jake’ tomorrow.
