We have a wonderful announcement:
The 2025 OHCG Annual will be held in Cobourg at the historic Victoria Hall! Mark your calendars for a one-day event on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
It will be hosted by the Northumberland Rug Hookers with assistance from area branches*. Attendees will gather in the renowned Concert Hall, where the future King of England, Edward VII, danced the night away in 1860.
The theme for the event is “Peace, Love, & Rug ‘n Roll”. We’re looking back at the organization’s roots formed in 1966. Remember flower-power, go-go boots, Twiggy, man-on-the-moon, and tie dye?
Stay tuned for details about an exciting program, great vendors, and a display of judged rugs in the Art Gallery of Northumberland (also located in Victoria Hall).
Cobourg is known as “the feel-good town” and is located on the lakeshore between Toronto and Kingston. It’s a short drive (or train ride) from urban centres where you can enjoy unique architectural landmarks and great shopping, dining, galleries and theatre, a spectacular white sand beach and beautiful waterfront.
* We’re still in the figuring-things-out stage, but if you want to help out (aka: Tune In, Turn on, and Get Groovy) with this fun project, let us know! Your help would be most appreciated - simply send an email to OHCG2025Annual@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you! In particular, we’re looking for a Volunteer Coordinator and a Games organizer.
