Description
Join me and story teller, Terry Wilson, for another much beloved Meadowvale Village tour, including his own miniature shed-size pioneer village. Like in June we will all hike in along Fletcher's Creek Trail and do a loop in the enchanting Meadowvale Station Woods before meeting Terry in front of the Old Meadowvale School house, near Old Derry Road and Second Line West, at approximately 11:45. (Anyone wanting to do the tour only can meet the group here for 11:45 but you are still required to register for the hike.) We will stop for lunch at Meadowvale Conservation Area before resuming the tour and visiting the little village and Rosemary's Garden. I will once again be raffling several of Terry's books of short stories. Raffle tickets are only $1. Keep in mind that this is a loop hike. We will return to our starting point by 3:30 pm. If anyone needs to shorten this event, they can drop out at anytime and I will provide easy directions to quickly reach the starting point or MiWay busses back to Toronto.
Washrooms available at the Shell station, NE corner of Mavis & Courtneypark, at Meadowvale Conservation Area (Lunch stop) and at the Courtneypark Public Library (open 1-5) back at our starting point.
Bring a hat, 1-2 L of water, a lunch. A slice of authentic pumpkin pie and hot chocolate will be offered once we reach Rosemary's Garden.
