The Ingersoll Cheese and Agricultural Museum is celebrating the uplifting power of the doughnut in WWI.
INGERSOLL - The Ingersoll Cheese & Agricultural Museum is holding an event you dough-not want to miss.
On Friday July 21st from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. the museum will be hosting Doughnut Day to celebrate the role of a doughnut in a soldier's life during World War I. There will be refreshments including coffee, tea, and of course donuts, set to the soundscape of original war time recordings.
Scott Gillies, Curator of the Ingersoll Museum, tells Heart FM the reasoning behind Doughnut Day.
"It's inspired by a World War I song that was written by a Canadian officer during the first World War. It's the story of how the Salvation Army would cook up fresh hot doughnuts to give to the troops."
Along with tasty treats, guests are invited to take a closer look at the exhibits featured at the museum.
"It's an opportunity to come in, enjoy some refreshments, a little bit of music, and view the current exhibit that is on display here at the museum called Where Honour Leads We Follow - that looks at the men of 168."
Admission will be $5.00 per person with proceeds going towards the restoration of the World War I era commemorative band shell in Memorial Park.
