We may as well have said “The Batmobile”
The 3rd cover of our last issue featured this awesome
photo we called “1940 Batman Coupe” by the late Steve
Harrington, one of our favourite cover artists. Thanks
goes out to Thor Milton for letting us know that it is in
fact a “1940 Bantam Coupe.” We’re pretty sure that it
doesn’t fly and isn’t at all bulletproof. The colour alone
should have given it away.
A Musical Addition to The Good Bread Company - See Page 22
The restored and renovated upstairs of The Good
Bread Company is now hosting monthly musical
evenings. Richard’s Hall will be filled with a variety
to please everyone – from Dixieland to Handel’s
Messiah. Just one more reason to make Vittoria
a regular destination. Artisan breads, Norfolk
County bounty, and now evenings out.
Earn Spending Money when you Stay in
Sarnia-Lambton
From now through the end of the year, if you stay
two or more nights at participating Sarnia-Lambton
hotels and campgrounds you can receive up to $100
in vouchers to spend at local restaurants, attaractions
or retail stores. For more details see Tourism Sarnia-
Lambton’s ad on page 1 (the bottom of our front cover).
Pine Dale - Grand Bend
Museums are finally open - see page 37
Not all museums are fully open as of now, although many are ready to educate
and entertain. Book yourself an appointment at one and allow yourself time to
wander their grounds. Archives are also open in areas
by appointment for those genealogists out there. Paint
Ontario, which had to be cancelled in the spring, has
been rescheduled from Sept. 2-27 at the Lambton
Heritage Museum in Grand Bend. Your entrance
fee and booking time includes seeing the works of
art and access to the rest of the museum.
Ontariariario Made
It was refreshing to see the Ontario Government take
a stand and ask Ontarians to check the packaging on
purchases to see where they’re made, and buy Ontario
made products when they can. It’s the simplest thing
to do. We’re not sure why this took so long. Watch
for this logo to start appearing on products. The shops
in this magazine carry countless locally made items,
so please keep that in mind when doing your early
Christmas shopping. Shop locally please!
It’s been a challenge, but we did it!
For years, we’ve been accustomed to running out of
Daytrippers, even in the summer when we print twice
as many. It’s our goal to distribute almost every copy
(we need to keep a few for our records of course). So
this summer was a challenge, with no events, hardly any
travel centres and restaurants under heavy restrictions.
These types of venues go through a lot of magazines. We
took the opportunity to add countless more locations,
particularly grocery stores, in the hopes of getting
Daytripping into the hands of people who haven’t seen
it. Farm markets were also so popular this summer that
we had to restock them again and again. My thanks
go out to all of those who welcomed Daytripping and
helped us once again distribute every copy.
Alien Invasion Cancels All Events Worldwide! - See page 38
Our events list in the fall issue would normally take up five full
pages. It was a stretch to make it a half page this year because
we’ve had to assume that everything has been cancelled, and start
from scratch. There’s a legendary antique show in Aberfoyle on
September 19th, and the Petrolia Discovery will be open to host
an Artists Day on September 26th. A few Christmas Open Houses
have begun to trickle in. If you work with a non-profit group or
are one of our customers, please send us your November through
February events by mid October and help us help you promote
them in our next issue. Thanks!
Take That,
Humans!
