This summer OMAH’s popular guided downtown walking tour returns. Gangs, Guns and Grog is themed around Orillia in the 1870s, a time in which there was a licensed pub for every 150 citizens and it was legal to carry a loaded and concealed firearm. 1870s Orillia was chaos, and we are so excited to tell you all about it every Wednesday night! Tours will depart from OMAH at 7pm and finish at Couchiching Craft Brewing Co. at 8:30pm where your first drink is included in your ticket price (participants must be over 19 years old to be served alcohol). Please wear appropriate footwear to walk in. This program begins on Wednesday July 5, and will run every Wednesday until the end of August. Book now as space is limited! You won’t want to miss out on this fantastic date night opportunity, or an evening out with friends.
Adult ticket (19+)
$25 per person ($20 for members).
Tickets must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
For more information, send an email to Monica.

This is an adult workshop, however kids 12 and up are welcome to come with a guardian to help. All materials and tools will be supplied, but please note that there will be quite a bit of hammering involved so it might get noisy!
