Wassailing Festival helps everyone
celebrate Family Day
The Family Day Wassailing Festival was a big success Monday at Spirit Tree Estate Cidery near Cheltenham. The event was being held in support of Bethell Hospice. The Orange Peel Morris Dancers of Orangeville led the parade at the festival.
Members of the Orange Peel Morris Dancers, complete with plenty of bells and sticks, performed several numbers Monday.

Aleta Fera of Brampton was helping her daughter Maggie, 3, put a piece of cider-soaked toast on the branch of an apple tree. That ritual is aimed at promoting a good apple crop for the coming year.
What would a winter festival be without the toasting of marshmallows? Anthony Marrari of Toronto was showing his son Cristian, 8, how it’s done.
There were crafts for the young folks to work on, and Claire Smith, 5, of Georgetown was busy with her creation.
