Sadly, we are announcing that we have decided to take a year off from organizing and presenting the the annual Art and Craft Show and Sale. It's time for rest and renewal.
The show is the primary fundraising event for the Lighthouse upkeep, activities, and projects but taking this year off is timed so that is will not adversely affect our current obligations.
Art and Craft Show and Sale Renewal Team !!
It is a big job (but fun and fulfilling!) putting on the annual show and we are looking for volunteers to step up to help prepare and present the 2026 show.
The tasks are varied and we can use your skills whether you are an organizer, can hammer nails, love greeting and helping customers, setting up the point of sale data, bookkeeping, or any number of other attributes!
Let's talk!

A local community group is hoping to recruit more people to help preserve a historic lighthouse in what some refer to as the Peggys Cove of Queens County.
The Medway Head Lighthouse Society took possession of the lighthouse in 2014.
Near the end of the picturesque Long Cove Road in Port Medway, the current light has been standing since 1983. But there has been a lighthouse of some kind at the site since 1851, when I.K. Perry was the inaugural keeper.
Cathie Pincombe is secretary of the Medway Head Lighthouse Society and is an organizer of the Medway Head Lighthouse Art and Craft Show. Both are run entirely by volunteers. She says they need more to make sure this piece of Nova Scotia’s heritage survives.
