Wagon tours - Hessenland Country Inn proprietor Ernst Ihrig hitched two of his Hanoverian jumping
horses to the 16 -passenger wagon he bpilt to take customers on tours through Pinery Park this fall

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. Diners are enter -

tained by famous German bands,
and can sit and tap their toes to the
music or get up and whirl around
the dance floor in a lively polka or
a graceful waltz.
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.

Village throws down challenge
AILSA CRAIG - The reeve and
municipal council of the Village of
Ailsa Craig have challenged their
counterparts in the Village of Port
Elgin to a pumpkin -growing com-
petition.
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..
