OUT FOR THE DAY
Little trips
for a big change
by Sheila Richards
You're invited to go along on a variety of
outings this month. With children home
from school, and an opportunity to get
away from daily routine, here are sugges-
tions for some fun times. Pack a picnic
lunch, cookies, lemonade, put some ice in
the cooler, remember to take swim suits,
fishing rods, golf clubs, field glasses. six -
quart baskets, lawn chairs and sun hats.
Load all into the car and proceed to
Clinton. Stop for coffee at Bartliff's
Bakery on Highway 4, one block north of
the traffic lights. Here you will find Dutch
pastries, fruit pies in season, doughnuts
and other goodies to put you in the frame
of mind for a relaxing day. From Clinton
take Huron Road 13 west leading to
Bayfield. Look for signs of bluebirds in the
nesting boxes along the fence posts.
Turn right onto Concession 4 and pro-
ceed to Te -Em Farm. This "pick your own"
establishment operated by the Ted and
Emma Vander Wouden (Te -Em) family is
one of several market gardens in the area.
In season, you will find bedding plants,
asparagus, strawberries, raspberries,
green vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes
and root crops ••- an ideal spot to pur-
chase vegetables for freezing and pickl-
ing.
Retrace your steps to Huron 13 and
then as you reach Highway 21, the golfer
of the family can be dropped off for a
quick nine at the Bluewater Club. This
6,110 -yard course has 18 holes, golf carts
and a snack bar.
Turn left on Highway 21 and before
crossing the bridge you will see the
Bayfield marinas on the right. Park the car
because the children will enjoy looking at
the great variety of boats and watching
them get underway for a sail. Perhaps
McLeods Fish will be open and you can
get some fresh lake trout for a special
treat.
Cross the bridge, take the first right
turn and drive through the village to the
beach and wharf area. The children can
swim here and the fishermen can try their
luck from the wharf.
Bayfield is a charming village with a
large park at the main entrance at the top
of the hill. It has an interesting history and
summer folk have been vacationing there
for years and years. There is a wide main
street, large trees, many shops, pleasant
eating places and at least two ice cream
outlets that do an excellent business.
Explore the main street with its many
charming shops. The Village Guild
operated for so many years by the Dicks,
the brass at the Red Pump, Canadian
crafts at the Bayfield Country Store
(where you can also rent bicycles), Cana-
dian Traditions featuring Newfoundland
woof weaving and Tuak sweaters, the
newly opened Bayfield House Art Gallery,
George's Gift Shop with its many
reasonably priced gift Items, Mr. Wood-
chuck's shop with kites and sailboats for
the children and the Wardrobe with a wide
selection of ladieswear.
Perhaps you can take tea on the veran-
da of The Little Inn, or make a future reser-
vation for lunch or dinner. The Red Pump
offers an early dinner for theatre patrons,
and EATS also has an interesting menu.
To finish your day, proceed to Pioneer
Lake Park for cookies and lemonade, get
out the lawn chairs, watch the sailboats
and other lake activity while you relax.
Continuing north on Highway 21,
through Goderich, just past Huron 25,
there is a miniature golf course which the
children will enjoy. Point Farms, a Provin-
cial Park, is also In the immediate vicinity
with camping facilities, good swimming
and a great picnic spot.
For something a little different, why not
attend Christ Anglican Church In Port
Albert some Sunday afternoon at 2:00
p.m.? This historic church was built In
1689 and has lovely stained glass win-
dows. After the service, take the road to
the lake, (Investigate the fish ladder en
route), have a swim, a picnic and perhaps
conclude the day at the band concert in
Lions' Harbour Park in Goderich at 7:30
p.m.
Those who enjoy a beach that Is quiet
during the week can proceed further north
on Highway 21, through Kintail. Turn left
on Ashfield Concession 12/13. You will
pass the Girl Guide Camp, a park, and
then go down quite a steep hill to an un-
disturbed natural beach. Lots of sand
here for the children to play in and a nice
way to spend a lazy afternoon.
For a real day at the beach, go south on
Highway 21 past Grand Bend to the
