Annual North Ldmbton
Craft and colour festival
GRAND BEND - There will be
more than rustling leaves and bril-
liant fall colours along the Lake
Huron shoreline near Grand Bend
on Saturday, October 16 and Sun-
day, October 17.
The area will host the annual
North Lambton Fall Colour and
Craft Festival, bringing with it a
wide variety of indoor and outdoor
activities for all ages.
With the Lake Huron shoreline
area from Ipperwash Beach to
Grand Bend entering its most col-
ourful period from early October to
month's end, it's one of the best
times of the year to enjoy the oak
savanna environment.
At Pinery Provincial Park nine
walking trails carry hikers along
the shores of the Ausable River,
where the beaver are actively pre-
paring for winter or salmon may
.still be seen spawning. Along the
inland paths the last of the migrat-
ing birds like the blue jay and car-
dinal can be seen, along with wild
grapes clinging to the trees. The
male deer are busy divying up their
territory by marking trees and with
an estimated 900 deer at the park,
visitors are sure to see one during
their visit.
With 80 -kilometres of roads and
a river disecting the park, it's an
ideal time to bring along a bicycle
or canoe to get a close up view of
the scenery.
The park will be holding bird
feeder workshops, while the visitor
centre will open from 1-5 p.m. with
regular showings of a film on the
life cycle of the white-tailed deer.
Just across Highway 21 N. at the
Lambton Heritage Museum, more
than 70 crafts people from across
Ontario can be found both indoors
and along the tree lined path that
circles the site, passing exhibit
buildings which •highlight'Lambton
•-:County's early years.
The popular Christmas Craft Sale
annually draws 4,000 to 6,000 visi-
tors who enter the museum at regu-
lar admission prices. The sale is
open both days from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. This year's sale promises to be
the best yet offering a wide variety
of crafts including quilts, jewellery,
ceramics, pottery, stained glad,
folk art, woodworking, Christmas
decorations and much, much more.
Exhibitors to watch for include

Correction:
wrong name
with photo
Many of our readers will have
noticed that we got a name wrong
in the captions for the photos on
page 11 of last week's issue.
The organizer of the Whalen
School reunion was, of course, Jean
Hodgins of Lucan, not Jean Hod-
gen, who lives in UsbomeTown-
ship.
We are familiar with the efforts
of both women to preserve local
community history, and somehow
managed to confuse the two when
typing up the photo captions.
The Times -Advocate apologizes
for the error.

The conservation area is a transi-

forest zone and the Great Lakes -St.
Lawrence Zone to the north. This
gives a park a great diversity with
trees like sycamore, sassafras,
black walnut and tulip trees that
thrive in the warmer southem

beech, white elm and basswood
trees which grow further north in

The Future Direction of

in Huron County -
is up to You.
The Huron County Library is holding a series of public
meetings to hear your views about library service. Hard
economic times and limited budgets combined with changing
community needs and expectations are challenging the
library to look at the way it delivers its service. We need
your help to set priorities and plan for the future. Do we
have too many libraries? Too few? What is a reasonable cost
for this service? Your opinion is important.
