As the leaves turn and fall comes on
it's nostalgia time at Village Squire.
Nostalgia for turn -of -the -century towns
and themes that a collection of old
postcards evokes. We've got some super
examples on this month's cover and with
Dean Robinson's story on page 1.
Fall is a time for remembering trips to
quiet country places, like the Vermont
travel story that starts on page 11.
Daytripping tells you about closer to
home travels, to Dresden and Uncle
Tom's Cabin Museum.
Then a local -boy -makes -good, Ken
Larone of TV Guide remembers growing
up in Seaforth and says it gave him a
competitive edge.
And to remind you that Blyth, Grand
Bend and Stratford don't have the only
shows in town, Village Squire covers
Western Ontario's booming amateur or
little theatre scene. For a look at the
playbills this winter and a profile of very
involved little theatre veteran Floyd
Herman, see page 6.
When you finish reading and are ready
for some action, turn to Around Town
section. It's full of things to do for fun all
over Western Ontario.
Next month watch for our November
Christmas shopping issue. And we're
looking for entries in our Christmas short
story contest, deadline Oct. 29, 1000 to
2000 words. The winner will be published
in the December Village Squire and will
receive a prize of $25.
Speaking of Christmas, we've got a
special offer for Village Squire gift
subscriptions. Read all about it on page
17.
