Their first stop was at a farmer's market near St. Jacobs, then on to Elmira where they all enjoyed lunch at the Stone Crock. From there they drove along the Grand River and stopped at the West Montrose covered bridge. The drive, Peter McNaughton then treated the group to a tour around the Mennonite area and ga'e a very in- formative commentary. They learned that the Old Order Mennonites use horses for all farm work and transportation, and harness windmills for power. New Order Men - tri p • nonites, on the other hand, use trac- tors, plain cars and have hydro and phone lines for use in their businesses. They saw one man using a corn binder, and another working a four - horse hitch on a two -furrow plow. The trip re -kindled many golden memories and a strongsense of deja- vu for many riders. They stopped for dinner at a shop- ping mall in Elmira, then enjoyed a sing -along on the bus all the way back, arriving home at the Bend around 8 p.m. It was a warmly nostalgic trip for_all those who came, and one they won't soon forget.
