For them, German Days at Doon will reacquaint them with nature. The valley takes on the colour of red and yellow and green and blue during mid-October. The farmers and villagers will be doing the last of the gardening work of the season and repairing the gar­ dens for winter. The kitchens smell of green tomato relish, chili sauce and sauerkraut. Out of doors there is the unmistakable tang of fall in the air. One of the traditional autumn chores in the village is that of ensuring there is enough firewood in the woodsheds to last throughout the winter and following spring and summer. Logs would be cut into stove lengths, then split for fire­ wood and stacked in the woodshed. "Cut your own wood, my son, and it will warm you twice," was always a Waterloo County Farmer's admonition to his children. During Germany Days, Ken Bowles with his 1911 Waterloo steam engine and bucksaw will demonstrate this process.
