The lively evening has become an annual tradition which gathers seniors from Vankleek Hill, L'Orignal and Longeuil as well as Hawkesbury and other surrounding communities.

The Hawkesbury Curling club has been active since 1923, despite the loss of the entire building in a fire during the 1960s.

On October 22, the club hosted a reunion of players. The club's dining room was turned into a museum.

Old trophies and photographs were on display, as well as curling rocks and pins going back to the 1920s.

One thousand pounds!

That’s the weight of this year’s biggest pumpkin as measured on October 3 in Vankleek Hill.

This year’s giant pumpkin contest saw 25 entries, which is twice the amount registered in 2008.

In the heavy hitter class, Louise Lauzon won with a massive 1,009-pound pumpkin.

The day included agricultural demonstrations as well as one of the largest horse-drawn carriage and wagon parades in Eastern Ontario.

The Lachute Agricultural Society hosted a smash-and-dash demolition derby and mud-bog on Sunday, September, 6 at the Lachute fairgrounds.

The Labour Day demolition derby is a 20-year tradition that has inspired countless generations of youth to smash, bash and crash their competition straight out of the fairgrounds.

At the end of the day the cars are reduced to smouldering scrap metal, your mouth tastes like dirt and you simply can't wait for the next derby to roll around.

Automobile enthusiasts gathered in Hawkesbury on September 6. The annual show has become one of the community's biggest summer events, with hundreds of cars registered.
