The overall theme is Peace, Love & Rug’n Roll - a lighthearted take on the swingin’ 60’s. It’s all about tie dye, mini skirts, rock ‘n roll and all that good stuff! The 60’s, when the OHCG was first formed in 1966, were such an exciting time there’s no shortage of topics to consider.
Some of the top songs from that year include Yellow Submarine, These Boots are Made for Walkin’, Summer in the City, Last Train to Clarksville, Mellow Yellow by Donovan
The Academy Award for Best Picture in 1966 went to The Sound of Music.
The 60’s also saw TV shows like Bewitched, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Gilligan’s Island, Get Smart, Batman, Star Trek, Laugh-in, Dragnet.
A quick search of headlines from the day will bring up lots of news stories: the space program, Vietnam War, civil unrest, the Pill, and more.

Hope to see you (and your theme entry!) at the OHCG’s Annual Conference, May 10, 2025 inCobourg!
