and Mildred Jacklin were among
several others to make up a busload
of 52 passengers starting out from
Waterloo on a two-day "Mystery
Tour". *
Four Travel Ventures busloads,
207 people, including the drivers
and hostesses went on this tour.
Travelling east on the 401 and
stopping for a coffee break shortly
after 10 a.m. at a large tourist
association picnic area near
Cobourg, their busload was treated
to nice fresh bran muffins baked by
the hostess's husband. Provisions
for all four busloads were supplied
by the company in order to save
time.
Then it was non-stop through to
Brockville to the Grenville
Christian Academy attended by
students from kindergarten to
university. Ail 207 sat down to
attractively set tables and enjoyed a
full-course meal prepared and
served by a numtier of the students.
Judging by the meal they have
surely been taught to cook as well.
Then it was on to a huge
entertainment park at the outskirts
of the city where the multi-talented
Russell family of Eganville,
performed for one and a half hours
displaying their dancing, singing
and musical skills. Also in the park
were several craft displays among
numerous other things.
At 7 p.m. there was a hot air
balloon festival, with many going
up for rides.
Following that was a stunning
performance of the RCMP musical
ride, which included 36 beautiful
black horses, bred, raised and
trained in Ottawa, mounted by the
red-coated RCMP.
Following this they turned their
chairs around to face the stage and
a show by the well-known Andre
Gagnong. Following this they
tracked to Ganonoque where their
overnight accommodation was at
the beautifully treed and
landscaped Country Squire Resort.
After their buffet breakfast on
Saturday morning they were taken
to the boat dock and went on a one
and a quarter-hour cruise among
the Thousand Islands. Then it was
on to Kingston for a tour of the city
and a lunch stop in a west-end mall.
After leaving here they travelled
on the old peaceful, Hwy. 2 to the
Bay of Quinte where they crossed
over on the ferry to Glenora to
view the Lake on the mountain and
the beautiful surroundings.
After leaving Picton on Hwy. 62
and back up to the 401, it was on to
Toronto for a buffet dinner at the
family restaurant, then back to
Kitchener where it poured rain just
as they got back to the car at 9:30
