This Sunday, Claybank Heritage Day will be held from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm at the historical site.

Provincial funding has been low in recent years, and the Claybank Brick Plant will fundraising in order to keep the site and its public tours operational.

Frank Korvemaker, Historian at the Plant, explained what will be taking place at the family-oriented event.

"We have some hands-on activities, there's a blacksmith shop operation going, we've got rope-making, there's a potter's wheel, and you can get involved with some of those to a greater or lesser extent. We have, for the kids, well, I guess maybe the old kids too, clowning around! Get your face painted, with balloons and twisters."

Korvemaker also explained the scheduled hay wagon rides through the Clay Canyons, and something sure to get even those out that the last few activities might not entice.

"One of the things we're known for is the Saskatoon Berry Pie, and that is really good stuff with some ice cream on there. The ladies locally make it all, local. It's not store-bought stuff, so, and we have Cinnamon Buns, all hand made and so forth."

The Claybank Brick Plant is located near Avonlea, Southeast of Moose Jaw, taking Highway 339.

Construction took between 1912-1914, making the brick plant over 105 years old, and is the most well-preserved brick factory in North America. You can tell if buildings in Moose Jaw are made with claybank bricks by looking for brown to beige coloured bricks, with black flecks in the clay, the signature impurity of the clay at Claybank.
