Walking tour of Exeter homes this weekend
Rain or shine, tickets and passports available at the Old Town Hall throughout weekend
By Catherine O'Brien
T -A staff
EXETER - Anyone who has
spent a bit of time travelling
through Huron County has prob-
ably noticed, and perhaps stopped
to inspect, the interesting homes
and gardens in the region.
As a matter of fact, many of these
well-groomed treasures can be seen
just by walking in local neighbour-
hoods - although most people don't
get a chance to see the interior of
such houses.
That's why the the Exeter United
Church decided to sponsor a 'Sum-
mer's Walk' tour of six homes in
town.
Jo -Anne Dinney, who is helping
organize the event and has her home
in the tour, said the church fund-
raising committee thought this would
be a great way to raise money.
"It was Ila Mathers came up with
the idea," Dinney said. And for the
past four months the committee has
been busy finalizing details of the
event.
But it's not just members of the
United Church involved in the
tour.
"Some are members of the
church, others have just kindly of-
fered to be part of it, which is really
wonderful," Dinney said.
The hothes in the tour are older,
well-established houses that have a
distinct history within the town.
Dinney said the homes are situ-
ated with in eight blocks of each
other so visitors won't have too far
to walk, although they should wear
comfortable shoes to better enjoy
walks in some of the backyard gar-
dens.
To make the tour a bit like a
treasure hunt, the church committee
designed passports for the visitors
which have a map so the homes can
easily be found.
As well, the passport has a brief
description about each home and its
history.
Tour guides will also be on hand
at each home to direct visitors,
stamp their passports and answer
any questions.
Dinney encourages people start
the tour randomly at any one of the
six homes. That way congestion
can be avoided.
And since the tour is spread over
two days, people can choose to see
three homes each day, rather than
rushing through all six homes in
one day.
Dinney said the tour will go on
rain or shine.
As well, people can pick up tick-
ets and passports for the tour all
weekend long at the Old Town
Hall.
Even though this is the first time
the tour has been put on by the
committee, Dinney said they hope
to make this an annual event.
"It should make for a fun week-
end," she said.
