Kleinburg's Annual "Bindertwine Festival"
September 6, 2008

It began in the late 1800's when farmers came to the community to buy twine to bind their sheaves of wheat together and is now an exciting day filled with unique crafts, great entertainment, Olde Tyme activities and great food awaits the entire family. For many, the highlight of the day is a unique Queen Contest where eligible "young ladies" (age 16 to eternity) call a hog, flip pancakes, hammer nails, and even milk a cow!
