Roctober in Canada 5

The outstanding feature at the Thanksgiving Festival at Cornish Hollow was this Cabanne. It was constructed without any support inside . The roof was made by adding diminishing circles of rocks in a cantilever style. The final building was fantastic. It looked and felt like something really special from medieval Europe. I suspect there is nothing else quite like it in Canada.
One has to admire John Shaw-Rimmington and his team of master craftsmen for their skill and hard work. Over a thousand visitors came during the festival and experienced a magnificent three days of entertainment.

Hip, railroad-car-size establishment specializing in Cornwall’s answer to the potpie, the pasty (pronounced pass-tee). Traditionally, these jumbo turnovers are filled with steak, onion, rutabaga and potato, and are referred to as oggies.
