May 16 & 17, 9am to 5pm
We invite friends, family, neighbours, and all those whose lives were touched by Elwood Quinn to join us for a Celebration of Life in his honour.
This gathering will take place over two days, May 16 & 17 from 9am to 5pm, at Quinn Farm, a place that meant so much to Elwood and where his presence will always be felt.
To allow as many people as possible to pay their respects, no official ceremony will be held.
Guests are welcome to come and go as they wish throughout the day.
There will be a few short eulogies shared at various times during the day, offering moments to pause, reflect, and remember.

The farm will be open with free admission throughout both days.
