US Migazine Visits Grand Bend
Summer Resort In Winter
(This description of Grand Bend
in winter is from, the January
issue of Buick Magazine, a U.S.
publication with a circulation of
1,500,000.)
By ROBERT DEBRODT
FEW PLAGES in the world are
nearly deserted as a sum
mer resort in the winter time.
During warm weather the fam
ed Lake Huron resort of Grand
Bend booms with more than 20,-
000 inhabitants-—some transient,
and some permanent, at least for
the summer. On weekends and
holidays, thousands more swell
this number. But, comes the first
threat of cooler days and longer
inights, the population begins to
dwindle—slowly
then rapidly.
(Snow fills the
ion. The hot dog;
signs squeak in the snowy wind,
forlornly calling vanished pat
rons. Wooden cottages that not
long before sheltered perspiring
vacationers now stand bare and
forgotten as snow slowly imbeds
them.
But some people stay at Grand
Bend. A faithful few maintain
that necessary link between sum
mer and summer. The winter
-population stays quite close to
(the 650 figure. Many are car
penters, plumbers, and electri
cians who thrive during the win
ter. They make needed repairs
to the seven hundred cottages in
Grand Bend village, and do what
ever new building is required for
another vacation season.
Vital Activities Continue
Vital activities continue, too.
•Churches, stores, a few garages,
and doctors, all keep going. And,
of course, the children go to the
public school, where more than
150 are enrolled. One hotel stays
open all winter, although the
■staff diminishes from twenty to
three, and it’s here that the Lions
Club meets twice each month.
But the Lakeview dance cas
ino, open every night during the
warm weather, is closed, Forty
attendants are on duty here on
summer nights, but now it cold
ly echoes to the footfalls of a
lone watchman.
The bathing beach is a glacial
graveyard. On balmy (Sunday
evenings, hundreds sit on this
same beach and listen to the
band concerts.
But, perhaps the most start
ling and awesome thing of all
about a summer resort in the
winter is the quiet. Now and then,
crunching ice sounds from the
beach. At intervals, a carpenter’s
hammer rattles the crisp air. Oc
casionally, even the voices of
children at play break the still
ness.
But altogether these sounds
are only a 'few muffled decibels
of the happy clamor of (Grand
Bend when summer is at its
height,
at first, and
