NORTHERN BC Historic Draws Bust Out the Birthday Candles
Contributed
Birthdays are always special, but when you’re celebrating a century, well, I guess you can look forward to one big blazing cake. At historic Huble Homestead, north of Prince George, you can expect more than frosted goodness on the menu during a celebratory centennial season that kicks off with Seebach Days, May 20 - 21. Indeed, the site of the area’s longest-standing house will set the scene for family fuelled activity, including a first peek at their newest trapping and fur-trading exhibit, Seebach Cabin. Post exploration, be sure
to snag your very own Huble House Centennial Cookbook — a commemorative keepsake chock full
of tasty recipes, including baking powder biscuits and flapper pie, that hearken back to simpler times. Further northeast, Fort St. James
National Historic Site, a restored Hudson’s Bay Company post, will also start the spring season with a birthday bash of its own on May 21. Commemorating Queen Victoria’s birth, the fort’s big day promises plenty by way of British tradition (think full English breakfast and the like), alongside a Best Dressed Victorian contest.

can explore the post’s collection of original wooden buildings and historic structures, considered the largest such offering representing the 19th century fur trade in Canada. Tat is, once cake has been served.
