DESTINATIONS TO EXPLORE AT = SW Ontario Antique Tour BF = See our Buy Fresh Pages CC = Craft Brews & Corkscrews Pages Je ne sais quoi by I don’t know how much our readers pick up on this, but there are themes that sometimes develop in an issue of Daytripping, even if they’re unintended. In the first couple of years, we would intentionally have some issues focused on everything from railway stations to tearooms but, quite frankly, that was before we had kids. We had time to do a lot of other things back then as well. In this issue, if you consume it all at once (as I know many of you do) you might find a focus on: peace; the importance of time and what it means in our lives; and public art, particularly murals in the many towns we cover. None of this is ever planned nowadays— we simply go where the talent of our many contributors takes us. So if you do find that this issue has a certain “je ne sais quoi” to it, or something resembling a personality, it’s not our fault, nor is it to our credit. We do always choose a theme for our bottom borders, and the ones you’re finding this issue focus on peace and harmony. That did set the tone for some of the articles and the filler material that we selected to break up the space between ads. And there’s no secret that the ads are the reason we do this. We want you to visit all these unique small businesses and events that make our area special and are very fortunate that people actually read Daytripping for the ads. Our customers love it, we have jobs, and you get a free magazine—it’s a win-win-win! That said, the contributions from our readers have made this much more than just a job, and we wouldn’t still be here without them. This big, little paper has made a lot of friends over the years. The focus on public art came up quite by accident. We received a story about murals that are being brought to life (in a sense) in the town of Clinton. You can read it on page 30. Numerous murals in Clinton, including a portion of one that’s on our front cover, were painted by an old friend of Daytripping named Allen Hilgendorf. Allen passed away 10 years ago at far too young an age, but I’m amazed at the prolific legacy he left and wonder how aware of it he was. You’ve likely seen his murals if you’ve been to Exeter, Port Elgin, Kincardine, Seaforth, Clinton, Markdale, Deadline for entries es is December embe 31, 2023 23 or mail to P.O. Box 430, Brights Grove, ON N0N 1C0 Ideal length is 500-800 words, but go crazy if you want. Three entries will win $100 each. All submitted articles may be printed in Daytripping.

Tell Us About Your in Southwestern Ontario Mark Moran, Publisher Walkerton, and Palmerston among others, and also on the cover of Daytripping many times. He completed over 100 very large murals, and they are an attraction in every town that they call home. You can see many of his creations at www.hilgendorf. ca and go on a daytrip of your own making to discover them. I never met Allen, though we spoke numerous times. His time ended well before it should have, and I can’t imagine how much more he could have done. If you look to page 40 you’ll see a couple examples of murals by Blaze Wiredharma and the photos don’t do them justice at all. This is a young guy from Toronto who has an incredible talent for “blazing” town names on murals while incorporating their individual idiosyncrasies and historical significancies (is that actually a word?). Personally, I’d love to see his work in every town of any size in Southwestern Ontario, and think it would be an awesome tourism product. Imagine if towns throughout our entire region had murals of this calibre proudly and boldly telling you where you are and what they’re about with massive murals that have a common thread—the artist’s style. Visitors would consume them and experience the similarity, even if they didn’t notice that they were taking it in. Among his numerous other accomplishments in life, this is what Allen Hilgendorf had created for us to enjoy. I don’t know how old Blaze is but judging by the photo on his website he’s young enough to have decades of great work ahead of him, and I hope he never stops. Check it out at www.blazeworksart.com These wonderful murals would never be appreciated if it weren’t for you (nor would this magazine) so thank you and please go experience and appreciate the talent that’s on public display throughout our big, shared backyard. And none of us are here forever folks, so please share your own talents with your communities. If you happen to be a writer please consider sending us an article. We can never have enough friends! Thanks for reading! P.S. My article in our last issue was about the many nicknames of people I grew up with. How in the world did I forget to mention Biddo and Peeler?
