For twelve years he performed and researched regional folk songs and folklore at Nova Scotia’s Sherbrooke Village restoration site. \nA protégé and fellow folklorist of Nova Scotia’s Helen Creighton\, Clary published “Helen Creighton\, Canada’s First Lady of Folklore”\, an intimate biography of Helen in 1989.  Helen began to collect the folk songs and lore of Nova Scotia In 1928 and in 1987 Clary was responsible for cataloguing the Creighton Collection for the public Archives of Nova Scotia. \nHelen had quite a relationship with – albeit through correspondence- with another collector of songs whose roots are deep in Nova Scotia. Carrie Grover was born in 1879 near Sunken Lake into a musical family where she learned hundreds of songs and fiddle tunes. Later in life she had them transcribed and recorded at the Library of Congress where Creighton’s collection is housed as well. \nClary will perform traditional songs from the Creighton and Grover collections as well as songs from some of his favourite Maritime songwriters mixed with several of his own originals. \nWith a blend of story and song\, Clary offers an intimate evening of music and lore –  a celebration of life in the Maritimes.

DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome Jenny Osburn to our museum for an hour long chat followed by refreshments. Jenny Osburn found a passion for cooking very early in life. Learning at her mother’s side\, she learned to appreciate the delicious flavours of fresh food prepared from scratch and came to head up the kitchen in one of Nova Scotia’s most beloved restaurants. Named Select Nova Scotia’s Local Food Hero in 2010\, Jenny feels that aside from the obvious benefits of flavour and strengthening the economy\, buying local can change your life. From forging new connections with one’s community to a sense of celebration in the changing of the seasons\, she believes choosing local can lead to increased satisfaction and happiness. Although she sold the restaurant in 2016\, she is as committed to these ideas as ever. Currently Jenny is sharing her passion for fresh\, flavourful food with the Berwick School . Her Better School Food Annapolis Valley initiative can be followed HERE \nCheck out  Kieran O’Neils video on  School Food  WINNER 2018 : Nourish Nova Scotia Food and Devour  Film Challenge for Youth 2018\, presented by CBC URL:https://www.kingscountymuseum.ca/event/jenny-osburn-healthy-nourishing-local-food/ LOCATION:Kings County Museum ORGANIZER;CN="Kings Historical Society":MAILTO:info@kingscountymuseum.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20181201T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20181201T153000 DTSTAMP:20260416T235248 CREATED:20181109T174948Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181109T175008Z UID:2414-1543672800-1543678200@www.kingscountymuseum.ca SUMMARY:Kings Historical Society’s annual Heritage Hearth Yuletide Tea DESCRIPTION:The Kings Historical Society will be hosting a Heritage Hearth Yuletide Tea.
