Wagon tours this fall ST.JOSEPH - Hessenland Country Inn is adding wagon tours through Pinery Park this fall and winter to the services already of- fered customers. Ernst Ihrig took the 16 -seater wagon he built out for a run last week. For horse- power, -he hitched up two of his Hanoverian jumping horses. The Ihrigs bought a farmhouse on 38 acres just north of St. Jo- seph in 1982, after emigrating from the German province of Hes- lens. Their 120 -seat restaurant, of- fering German and Canadian cui- sine, was opened in 1984. A further expansion came a year later when 15 motel rooms, including. an elegant two-storey tower suite, were completed. A 160 -seat glass -enclosed, air- conditioned beer garden built at the rear of the restaurant last July is home for Summernightfest every Friday and Saturday throughout the summer season.

A shuttle service was inaugurated June 24, and will be in effect until September 10. Parties of 20 to 48 people are picked up anywhere in the Bayfield=Exeter-Grand Bend area, taken to the restaurant, and brought home later. The shuttle service is free. The tours of the Pinery nature trails will begin after Labour Day. People, wagon and horses will be transported to the Park. Groups may have lunch either before or af- ter their wagon ride. Ihrig believes the new service will be particularly appealing to seniors' clubs looking for a pleasant outing. Exeter 4-H EXETER - Meeting one. Dis- cussed club we were about to begin. We completed meeting one in our workbooks. Meeting adjourned. Meeting two. Opened meeting. Discussed and completed meeting two in our workbooks. We filled in our enrollment cards. We decided we would call ourselves The Landscrap- ers. We took a walk and look at dif- ferent lawns that were landscaped. Meeting three, four and five on June 26 the Exeter 4-H club went to Huron Ridge Acres (nursery) outside of Zurich. We talked about where to plant trees and plants and why trees roots are protected when they are transported. We received handouts from a nur- sery catalogue and discussed them. We found out which chemicals and fertilizers should be used on what plant (we talked about this briefly). Our group saw how to prune trees and bushes and what time of year to prune. At the end of the meeting we received a small evergreen tree each. On behalf of the Exeter 4-11 club, we'd like to thank Huron Ridge Acres for showing us around their nursery.

Port Elgin last year weighed in Ontario's largest pumpkin in the World Giant Pumpkin Contest at 428 pounds, but Ailsa Craig, a vil- lage of 900 people 40 kilometers northwest of London, reckons it can do better. "If we weren't confident we can grow a heavier pumpkin we wouldn't be laying our personal cash and the reputation of the vil- lage on the line," said Reeve Don Shipway whose council laid down the pumpkin gauntlet by registered mail this week. "We're looking to Fred Wuarth and his councilors for big bucks to help us build our community rec. e- ation centre," Shipway said. "We need all the financial assistance vre can get, and since we're growing the world's biggest pumpkin anyway, we may as well take those fellows for a few bucks along the way." The wager proposed by Ship - way's council would see Wuerth and each of his councilors paying $5 for a brick in Ailsa Craig's $800,000 recreation centre for which ground is to be broken next spring. "Should our area- experience a drought, plagueor other pesti- lence," the Ailsa Craig challenge. reads, "and our entry not outweigh yours, I and each member of my council will serve you and each member of your council a Middles- ex County beef steak (Cooked over charcoal to your individual prefer- ences) and suitable accompanying dishes from this prime agricultural region, on the front steps of our municipal building at a time and date to be mutually agreed upon by you and members of your council." The World Pumpkin Weigh Off will be held during the second week of October. Port Elgin is an official weigh-in station of the World Pumpkin Confederation, a world- wide organization which last year awarded $3,000 U.S. to Howard Jill of Windsor, N.S., for his 612- [ound entry..
