Kleinburg Binder Twine Festival
An annual Kleinburg highlight in September is the Binder Twine Festival. It began in the
late 1800’s when farmers came to the community to buy twine to bind their sheaves of
wheat together. Charlie Shaw, owner of Shaw’s Hardware Store in Kleinburg, offered
food and entertainment to the visiting farmers and an annual celebration was born,
continuing until his death in 1931.In 1967, a small committee revived the concept of
Binder Twine as Kleinburg's centennial project. It was so successful that it once again
became an annual event. Occurring on the first Saturday after Labour Day, this exciting
festival features juried craft exhibitors, great food and entertainment. It is organized
and run entirely by over 800 volunteers from the community. Its success has resulted in
benefits to the community, such as Binder Twine Park, support for local schools and clubs,
new street signage, Kleinburg New Forest, and much more! There is a very special spirit of
cooperation and celebration – "a community brought together with a common
goal". |
