A Prince Edward County Anthology

Prince Edward County is a place of stories—of farming equipment gone awry, Horn Trips, unruly vineyards, Meat Rolls, and more. These are the stories you’re likely to hear over a beer or glass of wine (or two), at the post office or from a neighbour, at a funeral or a family reunion—the local legends, intergenerational tales, historical anecdotes, and funny and fond memories that capture the magic of the County.
