While it’s only been a couple of days since Haying in the 30’s wrapped up its 20th annual event in Mallaig, it appears that despite some unruly weather Saturday morning, attendance and funds raised will match last year’s.

In just a couple weeks, volunteers and attendees will be celebrating the two-decade milestone for one of the area’s largest non-profit organizations. But, the 2018 edition of Haying in the 30’s will also offer a chance to remember the face behind the cause.

It was tremendous year for Haying in the 30's! After all donations were totaled, this year's event raised $262,000...

The biennial awards honour the contributions of individuals, organizations, businesses and municipalities actively engaged in heritage preservation and conservation in the categories of Outstanding Achievement, Heritage Conservation, Heritage Awareness, and Municipal Heritage Preservation.

Dear Editor,

We were recently visiting friends in the area and they encouraged us to attend Haying in the 30s in Mallaig this past weekend. What an amazing event - not only the cause which the event supports but just the overall spirit of community that was so apparent...

Over the August long weekend, the hugely popular Haying in the 30’s event took over the grounds south of Mallaig, where an estimated 6,500 people came out to enjoy a weekend unplugged from the hectic pace of modern life. Instead of surfing the net and watching satellite TV, people went back in time to celebrate how things were done in the 1930’s.

Thursday and Saturday offered some surprising and generous donations for one well-known local organization – Haying in the 30's. On Thursday, Kissel, along with Vollrath, St. Paul's world long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski, and curling champion Marcel Rocque, joined together, and each offered up a signed piece of equipment, raising a total of $7,000 for Haying in the 30's through a live auction of the items.

Then on Saturday, after taking Mayor Glenn Andersen on stage, and Dragon Den's Brett Wilson, Kissel announced that the Hometown Homecoming committee would be donating $5,000 to Haying in the 30's and $5,000 to Fort McMurray wildfire efforts. Wilson then announced that he would match both those donations.

One of the area’s biggest and most popular fundraisers is set to launch this August long weekend for its 16th year, but more volunteers could be used to make sure the event is once again a success, says president of Haying in the 30s Lorne Buryn.

The event, which recreates farming and community life in the 1930s, draws more than 5,000 visitors from far and wide to the venue near Mallaig. Admission, food and entertainment are free, but people can choose to donate, and in past years, well over $200,000 has been raised over the course of two days, with all the funds going to support those affected by cancer.

Following the two-day long weekend event, which raises money to support people undergoing cancer treatment, it was also clear by the dollars raised that the work being done by the local non-profit is as important as it has always been.

Between 5,000 and 6,000 people visited the Haying in the 30’s site on Aug. 3 and 4, helping bring in about $212,000 over the two days, says Haying in the 30’s president Lorne Buryn.
