Hamilton Heritage Days were held at the Hamilton Community Hall, and the farm of Jim and Alva Carruthers on September 19th and 20th. It was scheduled for Saturday the 19th, but a poor weather forcast on Saturday spread several of the events to Sunday, as well. Each year this event grows and has become a real success!
