This week Kate talks about dance halls in 1930/40's Haliburton County. In particular the Golden Slipper and the institution the Slipper became in the community. (Kate is apppealing for anyone with pictures/stories/anecdotes about the Golden Slipper to contact her). Plus, Paul talks about the fascinating story of Catharine Parr Traill throughout the 1800's. Catharine was a successful writer of children's books and was an amateur naturalist/botanist - her books are still used as sources of information today by researchers studying life in Ontario 150 years ago.
