Along the tour of "Ontario's West Coast", many tourist destinations are visited, such as the Van Eginond reserve, and • some interesting points are raised. Lobb, during the nar- ration, notes that almost one- fifth of the county's labor force is "directly employed by agriculture", making the county "Ute most prominent Canadian agricultural region east of Winnipeg". The students involved in the production, Morfopoulos stated, 'deserve some ack- nowledgement" for putting together the video. "To a large extent, it was paid produc- tion, but everyone put in lots of overtime hours for frcc, to make it work for, Huron Coun- ty tourisrn," he said. He later added, "One thing; I'd' like to get across - thc students did the county proud...1 think they did a very nice joke` Morfopoulos is not the only one who is enthusiastic about the video, as -he said, "People arc quite excited by it all," and added that judgingbiy thc feed- back he has received, "They really captured the texture, the feeling of the county." While tourist operators will receive the video for frcc to show to potential Huron Coun- ty tourists, the video is also being made available for sale as a fundraiser for the HTA. Morfopoulos said videos can be purchased directly from the HTA, from major tourist operators in the county, and from the Computer Training Academy. The co-fillxfuccr also noted a. that if enough interest can be . raised in the tourists video, - "we might go .for something bigger and better next year." ,Y.
