" Vacationers a chance to enjoy
the farm in its most peaceful
seasons of fall and winter.
"The farm has something
to offer year-round," says

Located throughout the
province, these farms offer
vacation packages for adults
and families. Some packages

guests,
Each vacation farm is
different, and the activities
offered vary from farm to
farm. Some offer hay rides,
cross-country skiing, snow -
shoeing, snowmobiling,
s,,kting, hunting and fishing.
"These vacations can be
as exciting or as relaxing as
you want to make them,"
says Miss van Son. "Enjoy a
day Of skiing or hiking and
curl up by a cozy fire at
night."
Accommodation ranges
from rooms in a century -old
farrnst td, to separate
guest houses. Weekly rates
average from $125 for
children to S135 for adults.
One popular farm vacation
package is Thanksgiving

that's all.
This summer I saw a Shriners' parade -
the largest Ive watched in person. I was
impressed by the bands, and clowns and
vintage cars. My favourite part was the
specialty car horns playing,femiliar tunes,

my friends would say.

Dracula on a mini -bike or Charlie Brown on
