Gearing Up for the 2015 Woodstock Old Home Week [AUDIO]

Woodstock Old Home Week has been a Carleton County tradition for over 67 years, and it's almost time for this festival that is jam-packed with plenty of fun and excitement for young and old alike!

This year's Woodstock Old Home Week takes place from Friday, July 31st through Saturday, August 8th, 2015.

This week-long event includes the annual Joe McGuire Road Race, 4-H Achievement Day, horse pull, gospel concert, harness racing and street parade. The hobby show, commercial exhibits and midway opens on Tuesday night. Crowning Miss Brunswick for over 60 years has become the ‘crowning jewel’ of Old Home Week. Other activities include a Children’s Parade and Beautiful Baby contest.

A dairy show, agricultural exhibits, petting zoo, and 4-H shows celebrate the region’s proud farming heritage in the latter part of the week. Don’t miss the demolition derby on the last day and stay to see the spectacular fireworks that finish off the week!
