SUMMARY:History and Heritage Seeds with 'Revival Seeds'
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a special opportunity at the Paradise Heritage Centre when we combine an amazing family history with a chance to learn  about heritage seeds and how to grow them. \nIn 1903\, Iwan and Anna Guryn immigrated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire (which is now known as the Western Ukraine) to Canada with fifteen dollars and a trunk of assorted seeds. Today Ken and Kathy Byrka carry on the family memory and method of seed preservation and sustainable farming. They hold to values that matter today – care of the land\, respect and gratitude for those who have come before us\, and innovative plans for tomorrow. \nThey will bring family stories from generations for you to hear\, seeds for you to buy\, and answers to your questions as you think about how you might garden –  whether in porch containers or fertile fields. \nThe event will take place on Saturday\, April 11\, 2026\, at 3:00 pm at the Paradise Heritage Centre \nAdmission is free but we ask you to register so we can plan appropriately. \nLight refreshments will be served. \nThis event is full and registration is closed.

SUMMARY:Signature Quilt Quest
DESCRIPTION:Did you ever think of how our foremothers who created special quilts for remembrance\, fundraising\, or gifts\, were really the keepers of history? \n This is especially true for “Signature Quilts”.  \nThey were given as presentation gifts for\, say a minister leaving the community or a bride moving to a new home. Perhaps a family member emigrated to another country or province\, and the signatures embroidered with love and care. “Remember us! Remember where you came from! “ \n Sometimes a quilt would be a fundraiser for a church\, an organization\, a community. You would pay ten cents or so to have your name embroidered. It added up\, and such quilts made many contributions to community infrastructure or organizations. These are valuable historical  and genealogical documents as well as cherished artifacts. \nThe Paradise Historical Society is the grateful recipient of one such quilt.  We invite you to a very special viewing –  a Quest\, if you like. Our quilt has 221 signatures embroidered on white cotton. We invite you to come and see if you recognize the names of community members or your ancestors from the early 20th century – or just to see this bit of living history. \nThe quilt is dated 1911/12 and existed or travelled for months before it was finished. There are names from Paradise\, Nictaux\, Kingston\, Port Williams\, New Albany\, even Cuba! There are family names\, clergy names\, boarders’ names-names of people here before us who may or may not still be in our memory. \nThe event will take place on Sunday\, April 19\, 2026\, at 2:00 pm at the Paradise Heritage Centre \nTea and cake will be served. \nAdmission is free but we ask you to register so we know how big we need to make our cake. \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Contact Name *Email *EmailConfirm EmailNumber of People Attending In Your Group *Would You Like to Sign Up For the Paradise Historical Society Email List?  *Yes\, please sign me up!No\, please use my email address for notifications about this event only.Please check the 'YES' box if you'd like to sign up to our general email list to receive notifications about news\, updates\, and notifications for future events.Questions?
