History Buff? The Craig Heritage Park & Museum takes you back to Parksville's history (open from mid-May to late September) with its heritage buildings including an early pioneer's log home. Be sure to visit the Coombs General Store which began its existence in 1911. The store is much like it was 100 years ago with wood oil floors and Coca Cola memorabilia. Stop in for 25 cent candy and a warm hello from Dale Cartwright, the world’s friendliest store keeper. The Coombs Agricultural Fall Fair began in 1913 so there is always a lot to celebrate. The Fair is usually the 2nd weekend in August.
