4 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 10, 1990 Scugog's new Tourist Information Centre "Where's the liquor store?" Most Scugog Township resi- dents know that the liquor store is at the corner of Perry and Mary streets, but for many of the people who pass throug this fair municipality, finding what they're looking for can be time consuming and frustrat- ing. Not any more, though. The snack bar at the water- front baseball diamonds is now serving up a new menu. The specialty of the summer? Local information and attractions. The Tourist Information Centre officially opened Thurs- day and already a steady stream of visitors are dropping in to request information, in- cluding one man who came dur- ing the official ribbon cutting to inquire about the location of the local liquor store. Visitors now have a location where they can find all of Scu- gog Township's points of inter- est, including the Scugog Shores Museum, Port P rye specialty shops or one of t. township's beach areas.

Debbie Tzountzouris, first vice president of the Tourist As - sociation of Durham Region, told the Port Perry Star that Scugog Township is a haven for tourists because of its close proximity to larger metropoli- tan centres like Toronto. "We are only 58 miles east of Toronto," Mrs. Tzountzouris said, adding that a visit to Scu- gog Township makes a nice day trip or weekend holiday for families. One staff member, Jeff Brown, explained to the Star how the tourist information centre could generate revenue for many different sectors of the township. He explained that tourists of- ten eat, shop, sightsee, and seek overnight accommoda- tion, therefore sinking thou- sands of dollars in the local cof- fers. Ken Carruthers, one of the centre's organizers, said pamphlets from local attrac- tions and businesses would be greatly appreciated for the cen- tre The tourist information cen- tre, which is staffed by manag- er Marion Lee, Jeff Brown and Carrie Maciver is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
