One day Quints Exhibit in Callander on Saturday

The two remaining Dionne Quints turn 83 on Sunday and the Callander Bay Heritage Museum is holding a one day exhibit to celebrate.

It runs from 10 am to 5 pm tomorrow (Saturday).

The Callander Museum has, in its collection, calendars from 1936 until 1955 (minus 1938) featuring the Quints.

They also have on display one of the original paintings by Andrew Loomis that was then printed into calendar form for the 1942 illustration “Springtime” (pictured above).

The exhibit will have the calendars on display, background information on the artists, and it will explore how the media portrayed the girl’s through promotion and endorsements such as these calendars.

People can also make their way through the rooms that Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, physician to the Quints, used to occupy.

They now hold over 400 artefacts related to the girls and the doctor’s personal life.

Admission is $2.

There’s a cake cutting at 1 pm.
