/ PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 23, 1991 - 27 "A Family Tradition for 125 Years" * -- VOY / / Sa, Fi Rolly and Millle Coy were hosts for the annual East Central Ontario Zone Hereford picnic at their home near Blackstock on Sunday afternoon. A good number of families attended the afternoon's events. Travellers invited to vacation 'down on the farm' Travellers who want to ex- perience a little bit of country liv- ing as they travel across Canada, can do so by vacationing with members of the Ontario Farm Vacation Association. Individuals who are looking for alternatives to the traditional summer vacation past times, might enjoy horseback riding, hiking, hay rides or relaxing under the shade of a maple tree enjoying the peace and quiet of the country. Many guests enjoy visiting the barn during chore time, helping to feed a calf, or gather eggs. Families visiting farms should not expect to be entertained by farm families, the owners of the farm will be busy running their operations but will welcome visitors to observe their activities and may invite farm guests to join in when possible. Farm vacations provide an op- portunity to find out what life on the farm is all about while holidaying in the country. The reality of a farm holiday brings city living into a sharp contrast. The style and everyday life is so different, it is not a race against time but a race against nature and everyday is different. Farm vacations are not a new concept to European vacationers who have grown accustom to holidaying in the country in many parts of Europe, and England. Now they can discover the joys of a family country holidays in Ontario.
