Grab a drink, dance the Charleston, spin the roulette wheel, and dodge the coppers! On June 23, Saints & Sinners brings Moreston Heritage Village to life with the colourful history of GreyCounty during the prohibition and bootlegging era.

From 1 to 6 p.m., step back in time to “Corkscrew Town” and taste regional beer, wine, cider, and spirits. Pop into the local Speakeasy the Black Rabbit to spin the roulette wheel and try your luck at blackjack. Don’t miss a lively presentation on undergarments from the 1860s to the 1960s, including vintage corsets, petticoats, bustles, lingerie and more. Then show off your 1920s best in the costume contest and learn the wild dance craze of the 1920s: the Charleston!
