Summer Potluck Picnic at 1 p.m.
Owen Sound
Enjoy a potluck lunch in the spacious tent in the garden of Bishop
House.
A tour of the Museum and the viewing of the film, A Hero to Me,
produced by Billy Bishop’s granddaughter and film producer, Diana Bishop
will follow. The house was started in 1882 and completed in 1884.
The
Bishop family had four children, the third, becoming famous when King
George V, at Buckingham Palace, presented “Billy” with the Victoria
Cross, the DSO and the MC on the same afternoon in August 1917. The
house is now Canada’s first National Historic Site in Grey County. It
is filled with artifacts from both World Wars, family furnishings and
personal artifacts and mementos of Billy Bishop and his family.
Bring your dishes, food to share and a lawn chair.
Location: Bishop House: 948 3rd Ave. West, Owen Sound
