7c0iigmitun the tribune fourth section 29422006402100 wednesday may 30 1984 deer park inn expands dinner theatre comes to stouffville by don atanasoff news editor eric farrell owner and operator of the deer park inn just outside of stouffville has a bone to pick with tourism ontario mr farrell feels his dining establishment should have been declared a tourist attraction a long time ago now that he is expanding his operations hes even more convinced that the people who dole out the dollars for tourism ontario are discriminat ing against him im really angry with the government because it says we are not a tourist attraction said mr far rell we brought in 180 buses two years ago and had to cut back somewhat because we couldnt handle them all the government feels we are not in a tourist area so they wont provide any loans im not asking for a handout just loans at the same rate that other tour ist operators receive despite having to finance the expansion of his facility in other ways it hasnt put a crimp in his plans to make the deer park inn more than just a fine restaurant already under construction is a new dinner theatre which mr farrell hopes to have operational by september in fact bill austin lounge manager at deer park already has booked in his opening acts were going with the theme the british are com ing and weve booked four westend london groups said mr austin were not looking at any one type of act either he continued well have drama comedy and vari ety type shows mr austin added that the new dinner theatre might not always be used in that capacity hes look ing to book conventions auto shows commercial displays seminars etc whatever the market will stand he said also included in the expansion will be a wedding chapel and an outdoor courtyard the chapel will allow people already using the deer park inn for a reception to conduct the entire day at the one loca tion the courtyard will make an attractive setting for lunches during the summer the new chapel will be a replica of an oldcountry church that was used for weddings before the turn of the century it will be furnished with some antiques and other period pieces to give it an authentic look we already purchased antique pews beamed mr farrell we bought them from st simons church in west hill the phase ii operation will add 7000 sq ft to the 8000 sq ft the dining area and entertainment lounge currently occupy but doubling the size of the opera tion wont be any obstacle to farrell hes solved many a problem since he first purchased the land on hwy 47 north of stouffville in 1970 after overcoming many initial hassles including a land freeze for the then proposed pickering airport mr farrell finally obtained a building permit in 1974 but the delay cost him money had he been able to build in 1970 the total price of dining and entertainment lounge would have been in the neighborhood of 180000 by the time all of the red tape had been cut and the deer park inn opened for business in 1976 the price had risen to over 250000 one of the reasons the price was kept at the quar termillion mark however was the cost of labor mr farrell didnt have to worry about strikes he his wife brother and father drew up the plans purchased the necessities then built the place them selves although they did not complete all of the technical end of the construction like the wiring and the plumbing mr farrell had a hand in the installation right up the the final connections its amazing what you can do when youre back is to the wall and theres no way out he recalled the same determination that went into the initial phase of the deer park inn has now carried over into phase ii one might think that because the dining room and entertainment lounge became such a suc cess that contractors would have been hired for phase ii not so once again eric farrell his family friends and many of his employees have put their efforts in building the new portion of the complex if all goes well in his new
