Hungry for a tasty treat?
Apple Pie Day, hosted by the Mossbank and District Museum, is being held on August 18th from 1 to 4 p.m. Come down and enjoy the afternoon. Grab a slice of fresh baked apple pie, along with a good dollop of ice cream or a piece of cheese. A visit with your neighbour and a hot cup of coffee or tea would perfectly finish off the afternoon’s sweet indulgence.
Apple Pie Day is held annually by the museum, along with the support of the community. The tradition started when some of the community members picked up the ripe apples from the museum’s apple tree so they wouldn’t go to waste. They took them home, made them into pies and then donated them back to the museum. This act of community-minded kindness started the museum off on their first event. Ever since then, Apple Pie Day has been held annually every third Wednesday in August.
Over the years, the community and surrounding area have participated in Apple Pie Day, thereby making the event too large to be held at the museum. At one point, in one afternoon, they served over 300 folks at the Mossbank Community Hall.
This year, however, organizers are holding the event back at the museum. They want everyone to enjoy the afternoon and experience what the museum holds from the past.
The museum itself is made up of five buildings. Frank Ambroz, an immigrant from Poland who came to Mossbank in 1926, purchased his blacksmith shop in 1928. He passed away in 1986. His wife Mary Ambroz donated her husband’s working blacksmith shop to the museum in 1988. In 2004, it was named a heritage property. Since then, his shop, their original home, and three other buildings have made up the five buildings on site.
Be sure to visit the Mossbank and District Museum, located at 517 Main Street in Mossbank, on August 18 to celebrate Apple Pie Day and help support the local museum.
Anyone interested in donating apple pies should call call (306) 354-2811. Requests will be granted at the end of the event for a full pie, if there are any pies left unsold. All donations collected go to the Mossbank and District Museum.
Come down and join in on the fun. Hope to see you there!
