Every year, the company cooks up a unique blend of story telling, comedy, history, traditional music, fiddling, step-dancing and fun and serves it to Valley residents and visitors! At the invitation of the Almonte Celtfest Society’s 2008 festival, the company is bringing back their production of On the Air with Mac’s Melodiers.
