Brussels
Boarding the Travel Ventures
bus at Tim Horton's in Waterloo at
7 a.m. on Oct. 30, Doreen Dale and
Mildred Jacklin say this was their
best three day trip ever.
They stopped at the duty free
store in Fort Erie, crossed over to
Buffalo, then on to the Milicreek
Mall at Erie, Pa. where they
shopped and had lunch.
On Hwy. 6, just south of Hwy.
90 near Linesville, PA., they
stopped at Conneaut Lake, where
the fish were so numerous they just
kept swimming in layers on top of
each other with their mouths
constantly open waiting for the
many travellers who stop here to
throw pieces of stale bread which
are purchased at the store on the
premises for 10 cents a loaf.
Another amazing feature is that
there are hundreds of pretty ducks
here who just waddle over top of
the fish to get their share of the
bread.
Stopping at 5:30 at West
Middlesex on Hwy. 80, at the
Radison Motel, after enjoying a
welcoming punch party, they had
time before their 7 p.m. dinner to
tour this beautiful place, furnished
with antiques from several
countries, except for the sleeping
quarters, which were modern.
On Tuesday morning all 46 of
them including their driver and
escort, sat down to a buffet
breakfast.
At 9:30 in Grove City they
toured the Wendell August Forge
Plant which has been in operation
since 1923. Everything in the
tremendous showroom and gift
shop is moulded and made by hand
out of aluminum, pewter, brass,
sterling silver and other metals, as
well as glass.
Going west on Hwy. 208 they
spent two hours and had lunch in
the quaint old town of Volant, later
Lightning can
strike twice
Lightning, at least in the hands of
mortals, does strike the same place
twice.
At 1:38 a.m. Nov. 1, volunteers
from the Brussels Fire Department
found themselves back at the Mor-
ris Twp. farm of Jack Cardiff,
where they had been called on Dev-
il's Night, Oct. 30, to extinguish a
straw fire, which had been set by
vandals. Thirty large bales of straw
were lost in the blaze.
The same scenario greeted them
with the second call. Fire Chief
Murray McArter estimates the
damage at $300.
Passenger trains travel up to
160km/h and freight trains are a lit-
tle slower at 110km/h — that's 100
mph and 65 mph, respectively.

stopping at New Wilmington
Cheese Rouse, which also
contained a very large gift
purchasing area.
Next stop was the Philadelphia
Chocolate Factory and Warehouse
in Hermitage since 1919, which
boosted their sales for that day.
Also in Hermitage they drove up,
around and back down "The
Avenue of 444 American Flags"
centered by one Canadian flag to
also honour Canada. It is the
world's largest display of American
flags and recognizes the price paid
for freedom. A step-on guide
explained the history of it all. "Sure
was a pretty sight, all those flags
flying in the sun," the women said.
Then it was off to "Tara" a world
class country inn, inspired by the
movie Gone With The Wind.
Situated on Valley View Road out
of Clark, PA., it is a proud recipient
of the Triple A Diamond Award.
The well kept formal gardens
overlook the 450 acre Shenango
Lake. Following an afternoon tea,
they were taken on a guided tour
through this luxurious southern-
styled mansion, where each
bedroom was done in different
decor.
At 5:30 p.m. everyone got back
on the bus. The hostess picked up
the speaker and said, "This is the
highlight of your mystery, we are
all staying here tonight, door side
off first." Nobody believed her,
nobody made a move to get off.
She had to tell them again. In every
room there was a small 12 oz.
bottle of wine honoured by the
Wine Spectator Award of
Excellence along with small
packages of gourmet crackers,
cheese, raisins and extra special
chocolates. They enjoyed a
southern styled dinner, also
breakfast on Wednesday morning,
Nov. 1, before leaving at 9 a.m., a
beautiful, sunny day.
Still enjoying the slightly dulled
but pretty autumn colours, they
stopped in Warren on Hwy. 52, the
gateway to the Allegheny
Mountains for lunch. Continuing
on a short distance they stopped to
view the wonders of the Kinzua
Darn and Reservoir which spans
the border between Pa. and N.Y.
Built by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers at a cost of $108 million,
it also provides year-round
recreational opportunities for the
outdoor enthusiast. It has six boat
launches and 10 campgrounds in
the surrounding area.
Following this they were
homeward bound with pleasant
memories they can always keep.
