Harvey Community Days
Harvey Community Days is an annual event held in the village of Harvey Station, New Brunswick.
== Founding ==
In 1945, a group of community-minded citizens headed by Harry A. Corey, A.E. McLean and Harry T. Swan recognized the need for a community hospital. Mr. & Mrs. David Taylor, and Mrs. Walthall, Mrs. Taylor’s sister, donated their summer home in the village for this purpose. This was the beginning of Harvey Community Hospital.
Being farsighted and practical, the community group also realized the need for ongoing financial support of the hospital—an annual event to raise money was needed. Someone suggested a Horse Pull (it had worked in Fredericton Junction). In October 1945, the event, ‘Harvey Hospital Day’ was held, and in spite of inclement weather, was a success. Harvey Community Days was born. The following year it was moved ahead to the third Wednesday in August. Since 1945, Harvey Community Days has only been cancelled once—due to an edict prohibiting public gatherings during the polio epidemic.
