Good promotion at Park
Winter facilities at Pinery
Provincial Park do not need
promoting, according to
head of visitor services,
Terry Crabe. In response to
a comment made at the last
Chamber of Commerce
meeting in Grand Bend to
the effect that use of the park
in winter should be ad-
vertised, Crabe said it
wasn't necessary.
Crabe pointed out that
between 9,000 and 10,000
cross country skiers used the
park last winter. The 33
kilometres of cross country
ski trails were used to
capacity on 10 weekends.
Crabe said that one of the
main problems is the lack of
parking space. Parking lots
near the ski trails were
jammed on weekends last
year.
Crabe agreed that the park
could be used more during
the mid -week. Unfor-
tunately, if the park were
advertised, it would
probably bring out more
people than they could
handle on weekends he said.
There were about 1000 skiers
in the park on a good Sunday
GB residents
enjoy bus trip
Eleven Grand Bend folks
enjoyed the 3 day bus tour to
Bethlehem Pennsylvania
"America's Christmas
City," last week end.
Crossing the border at Fort
Erie, travelling through
scenic places Syracuse,
Binghamton and Scranton
enroute to destinations. The
guided tour stops included a
visit to "Jordan Lutheran"
one of the oldest churches,
through Pennsylvania Dutch
countryside, seeing covered
bridges, a stop at Ice City, a
Christmas decoration store,
and to Lehigh Valley mall for
shopping A s
darknesse settled we
travelled to Bethlehem, to
see the Star of Bethlehem
Christmas light display., and
the Christmas Putz (Nativity
Scene). Then to Koziars
Christmas village lighting
scenes.
Coming home we travelled
through the magnificent
Pocono Mountains and
stopped at Corning glass
factory. All reported a good
trip.
Quite a number of Grand•
Bend folks were on the one
day bus trip last Wednesday
to see the town pt Simcoe's,
"Festival of Lights"
Mrs. Lenora Orr spent a
few days last week in Wind-
sor, visiting her sister. Mrs.
Dorothea Knights.
last winter.
Crabe said that many of
the cross country skiers are
regulars: people who come
back each weekend. About 67
per cent of the skiers came
from Sarnia last winter. The
average person drove about
70 miles to come to the park.
At their annual meeting
members of the Chamber of
Commerce said that they
would like to see visitors in
Grand Bend year round.
They wanted to promote
accommodations and eating
establishments for winter
use.
Crabe also pointed out that
the park is never advertised,
even in summer. Press
releases are sent to
newspapers, but there isnever
any need to advertise the
park, he said.
Crabe said that
snowmobiling had decreased
in popularity at the Pinery.
He said the most
snowmobilers do not find the
park suitable. Pinery is a
natural environment park,
and the habitat has to be
preserved. Snowmobilers
are only permitted on cer-
tain trails and they are not
allowed to go hill climbing in
the sand dunes. No wear and
tear is allowed on the fragile
dunes during any season,
because they are very
susceptible to erosion, Crabe
explained.
There are 22 kilometers of p
groomed trails available to
snowmobilers. A warden
patrols the trails to make
sure tha t b1ers stay
Cars are charged $2 to get
Into the park, regardless of
the number of people in
them. This makes the
skating and tobogganing
facilities, as well as cross-
country skiing available.
The skating rink and the
toboggan run will be kept up
this winter. There will be no
downhill skiing, mainly due
to the lack of interest. Very
few people were using the
hill, and it cost a great deal
to operate the ski tow and the
snowmaking machine,
Crabe said.
Winter camping ended last
week. Like the down hill
skiing the camping was
eliminated due to constraint.
Food will,be available at
the store and the chalet this
winter.
Two events are already
being planned On January
! 13 Pinery and the Ontario Ski
Council will be hosting a
cross country ski clinic, to
teach techniques and
waxing. A "loppet"-where
each skier who completes a
certain length course is
elegible for a prize -will be
held on February 17.

snowmobiles are per-
mitted in the park unless
there is 15 centimeters (six
inches) of snow. g`
Snowmobilers must heed the
40 kilometre per hour speedg

the park. Crabe pointed out'
that the speed is too slow for g
most snowmobilers. The
