SUMMARY:Steveston Scarecrow Crawl
DESCRIPTION:Scarecrows appear all over the village through October\, and the Society builds one every year. \n\n\n\nThis year ours is a historic mailman\, and he will be standing outside the front door of the Steveston Museum and Post Office for the whole month. There is a reason for the costume: mail has been handled on this spot since 1890\, and the counter inside is still a working post office. \n\n\n\nWalk the crawl\, find the others\, and come and say hello to ours. The Scarecrow Crawl runs the length of October and is organised by the Steveston Merchants Association.

SUMMARY:Heritage Apple Talk and Tasting
DESCRIPTION:On a recent trip to the Similkameen Valley\, the new Executive Director of the Steveston Historical Society\, Chris Mathieson\, was given a wonderful collection of just-picked heritage apples. They won’t keep for long\, so we’d like to share them while they’re at their best. Join him at London Heritage Farm for a short talk\, then a tasting of as many different varieties as he can slice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore coming to Steveston\, Chris spent twelve years running the Grist Mill and Gardens Historic Site in Keremeos\, a provincial heritage site with its own heritage orchard. Some of the trees there came from Bill Parsons\, an Oliver orchardist who donated 25 heritage apple trees before he died in 1990. Looking after the collection of nearly a hundred varieties gave Chris a love for old apples\, and for how much history each one carries.(It also didn’t hurt that his neighbour in the Similkameen was the inventor of the Ambrosia apple variety!) \n\n\n\nNorth America alone has more than 10\,000 named apple varieties. They come in an incredible range of tastes\, textures and colours\, and each one survived because somebody wanted it: for cider or pies\, for keeping through the winter\, for a local taste\, or because a chance seedling happened to turn out well. We’ll taste our way through some of them\, with a dozen or more varieties available to try. \n\n\n\nThe talk part of the presentation takes about 20 minutes\, and the whole event is about an hour. Most of it will be standing\, and the tasting may move out to the patio if the weather cooperates. \n\n\n\nThis is a thank-you to the people who support our two organizations\, so it isn’t open to the public. Space is limited to 30 people\, and spots go in the order RSVPs come in.

SUMMARY:Letters to Santa
DESCRIPTION:An annual tradition to create a childhood memory\n\n\n\nThe holidays are near and Santa is waiting for the first letters of the season to arrive. Our charming heritage building is the ideal place to introduce your child to the letter-writing tradition with a letter to Santa. \n\n\n\nHave you heard about Canada Post’s Letters to Santa program? For over 40 years\, retired Canada Post employees\, or “postal elves”\, have helped Santa sort through one million letters every year. The letters let Santa know how the child is doing\, and what their hopes and wishes for the holidays may be. And\, if the letter is sent before the deadline\, they can expect a reply from Santa’s workshop! This year’s deadline is December 9\, 2026. \n\n\n\nFind our special “Santa Mail Box” in the Steveston Museum (in the room behind the post office) where children can mail their letters to Santa. Or\, the letters can be placed in your neighbourhood mailbox\, just like regular mail. \n\n\n\nThese days\, most children (and even adults) have never written a letter to someone. Writing a letter to Santa is a good way to encourage children to learn how to write letters. To make this easy\, Canada Post offers easy to fill-in letter samples on their website\, or you can visit the Steveston Museum and Post Office to fill out letters available next to the special Santa mailbox (limited to children 12 years old and younger). \n\n\n\nTeachers may be interested to know that their class writes to Santa\, he will reply with a class poster including all of the students’ names. \n\n\n\nCanada Post also has tips for international letter writers to ensure that international letters are replied to in the language that they are written in. \n\n\n\nSend your letters to Santa using the following address: \n\n\n\nSanta ClausNorth PoleH0H 0H0Canada \n\n\n\nYou don’t need a stamp if mailed from Canada\, but please include your return address! And don’t forget to mail your letter before the cut off date of Wednesday\, December 9\, 2026. \n\n\n\nFor more information on how to write a letter to Santa and any of the above programs\, visit Santa letter program | Canada Post
