.°aueh, who has been working with
her, for four summers now.
ren has just completed
,Grade 13 and will be going into her
first, bear"at the University of
Waterloo this September. The
firstsujnmer Karen worked there
:the booth was a trailer,
.Now'the information centre is a
'`chalet'',
,.donated, by the..
Goderich Building Centre. John
Prouse, manager of Supertest gas
station,was kind enough to allow
the booth to be set upon part of his
property, says Bea Bradford. I't is
located on the corner of Victoria.
-atitf Elgin Streets. • .
There have been 2,681 people
drep in at theQinformation centre
- �stnce Tts openlin May T9. Tt was
openeet just on 'weekends until
June 16, and now is open seven
days aweek from9a.m. to 9 p.m,
Bea and,Karen have been taking
a count of Michigan tourists who
have cgme in. So' far there have
been 551 tourists from that state
alone. ,,
Of course that doesn't 'mean
that all.,the. other. :tourists- are -
Canadian. Karen says that a lot of
people arrive who are visiting
relatives. Many of them are.from
across the ocean. So far this year
• people ,from Scotland, France.
Holland, and England have
, arrived who Ire visiting relatives
from around this ,area. She- says`
they are .very keen to obtain
-.'folders ,to .take back to their
country with them.
The inMrmation that people
require is varied. Telephone
calls from local residents are net
uncommon. One lady who called
- -kat Monday.wanted toknow'where
the nearest synagogue was. Many
people phone to find out church.
service hours: And there are a lot
' of sports'enthusiasts who inquire
about where the tennis courts are.
It isn't just tourists and local
residents who • go .,to' the
information booth either. Last
• Monday a man from Blue
Mountain Park, who is it s
promoter, came in and :asked if
they were int•erested in: obtaipfng
any "pamphlets on the area.. -He
described the planetarium there,
and explained that -there are only
eight'planetariums in Canada.
The majority who can be found
at the information booth are
tourists though. Most of them,
when, • looking for
accornmodations, are camp
enthusiasts and want tto know_
• where a campsite is. The ones
who aren't campers want to know .'
where the best 'places are to' eat.
Other than looking •- for
accommodation and food, tourist's
want toknow where points of -a'
J01414 i niow where to find the parks, •a
craft §hops,, ntique stores, the
best fishing and. boating areas,
and the miniature golf_ e urse.
Folders are aVailabl ,„on all this,
including once providing a list of
. c.o.mtng-events.,.
Some people who come to
Goderich expeet�to be able to tour
ife a'It mines. This, of course,- is
not posy
"ale.
Then there are the tourists who
need to know where the liquor and
beer stores are, along with the
local” hot spots.
Complaints from tourists are
few. But the same ones are
frequent. One major complaint\is •
the sign seen as one comes in
from Highway 8. It. tells`' of a,
provincial park and to follow the
sign. But there 'are no fui°ther
signs to follow,
The other major complaint is
the American ropey ,exchange.
Americans " become very irate
wwherr they; 'ind= Put-thev value -of
their American dollar is less in
Canada,
�- Vi-sitors -Who "haven t `been to'
Goderich for a Iong time and then
return} become wistful when -they
find . out the once proud Sunset.
Hotel is -no longer to be seen. Now
that even its empty structur,.e has
been demolished, there is 'Only
empty space leaving not even a
glean of remembrance of years
past:
-. There is •a-.registry-�.a't •the
tourist information booth ° for
visitors. The remark most
printed in the "remark" column'
of the registry is ',the town is si)
clean and pleasant": '
Goderich is 'proud of this
reputation. It plans to remain as
such, as ` it ---welcomes:- vi -sitars
