Prince George, Arts, Culture & History Tours
The tourism PG staff and I enjoyed our time out at Huble Homestead, Monday May 21st, while the weather was permitted. It was a busy day at the homestead as it was Seebach days! In celebration of this event there were numerous activities and sights to see such as the new exhibit, Edward Seebach's cabin. We were also able to enjoy blackpowder gun firing, sheep shearing and even pancakes and burgers for lunch. You can catch us out there again Sunday May 27th at the Sheep and Wool fair!

Prince George, Arts, Culture & History Tours
Over the May long wekend, I participated in Seebach days at Huble Homestead, located approximatley 30 minutes north of Prince George. It was a step through a time capsule where I dressed up in an old fashion night gown that came down to my ankles (don't want to show any skin), watched sheep being sheared, was able to feed the sheep, watched the 'men' fire blackpowder rifles in the field and got to eat just plain old tasty candies- the candies that my great grandmother use to make for me. The staff at Huble Homestead were all interactive and were more than willing to share with me their more 'traditional' way of life and let me assit with some of their day to day activities such as gathering things from the root cellar, making beds and playing games with the children that came to the site through out the day. Huble Homestead, although some in size, was a treasure that I had not experienced before and provided a wealth of historical knowlegde and entertainment throughout the day, while encouraging me to take that step back in time!
