When we were planning the 25th Hour’s final episode of the year we knew the scenic town of Almonte would not disappoint. The historic buildings, display of shops and boutiques on Main Street and walkways lining the city’s Grand Falls proved to be the perfect backdrop.
Even more, the city certainly lived up to being one of the friendliest towns in the Ottawa Valley.
We interviewed longtime curator of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, Michael Rikley-Lancaster, toured around the Old Town Hall and were even lucky enough to make a new friend, Larry the Jack Russell Terrier.
Thank you to our entire 25th Hour team who worked tirelessly on putting together the documentaries that made our show the success it was. Additional thanks to our enthusiastic and dedicated production team whose sense of humour never failed throughout hours of shooting.
Finally, thank you to the people of Almonte who welcomed us with open arms.
