Farm Museum volunteers Syd Pickerell (left) and Harry Van Genderen (right) at the 91Ô­´´ City Timms Community Centre in 2019. Hands-on activities such as this are back on at the museum for B.C. Day 2022. (91Ô­´´ Advance Times files)

The BC Farm Museum has blacksmithing, rope making, model trains courtesy of the Fraser Valley G Scale Friends, and other activities that harken back to the pioneer past as the community marks B.C. Day.

Admission is by donation Monday, Aug. 1 at the museum at 9131 King St. in Fort 91Ô­´´.

The public can enjoy clowns, the Aldor Acres petting zoo, the Edmundson Jazz Band, and a concession by the Fort 91Ô­´´ Lions club. Be sure to have the batteries charged up because there’s photo opps everywhere in the museum that houses some 6,000 artifacts.

In addition to the demonstrations and hands-on activities, there’s going to be a scavenger hunt with prizes, and more.

Activities run 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
