Fall Color Tour Enjoyed By Area Senior Citizens While most of Walkerton still slept a Presley Tour Company bus came to the Community Building, in Walkerton, at 6:00 a.m. on Friday, September 16. to pick up 26 senior citizens from the WalkertonKoontz Lake Area for a three day trip. Ginny, our charming and versatile escort, met us at the bus and stayed with us until we disembarked again at the Community Building late on Sunday night. From Walkerton we drove to Elgin. Illinois, where we picked up 12 more passengers. Many interesting guessing games and contests were played all along the way and all of the old time singing aboard was an indication that these happy travellers still had a song in their hearts. Our first stop was at Cedarburg, Wisconsin, an interesting area where many antique shops, gift shops and boutiques invited us to browse. All dogs must be on a leash and all cats wear bells here because all of Cedarbury is a bird sanctuary. After lunch we continued on to FonDu Lac where we toured the fabulously beautiful old Galloway House and surrounding village. A boardwalk takes you past a print shop, toy shop, a working Grist Mill, Carriage House, one room school house. General Store. Post Office and cabinet maker’s shop. It was especially interesting to folks from this area to note that a beautiful old handsomely preserved buggy in the Carriage House was made by Studebaker. From here we travelled to Green Bay, Wisconsin, where we spent two nights at a Ramada Inn. Saturday morning we again boarded our bus for a trip to the tip of the peninsula making many interesting

stops along the way. Foliage in this area was getting much more colorful and beautiful. Several times we could see the water of Green Bay on one side and see the Lake Michigan on the other side. Enroute we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant where the buildings are covered with sod roofs and live goats on the roofs keep the lawn mowed. Then on to Gills Rock where our capable bus driver carefully backed our bus, loaded with people onto a ferry for the seven mile trip across Sturgeon Bay to Washington Island. Washington Island is surrounded by w aters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay w here depth of w ater ranges to I'o feet. This trip too was interesting. We saw many smaller islands. many lighthouses and a coast guard station. When we disembarked at Washington Island. Johnny Johnson, a local guide, met us to show us and tell us about the island. He was born on the island and has returned there for his retirement years. Only 464 people live on this island. They have a full school system with all grades thru high school and have nine teachers. Roads are good, they have electricity and gas and Mr. Johnson says no one locks their doors at night and there is no crime because the only way to get to the mainland is by boat so who could get away? A very interesting Art and Nature Center was there for us to enjoy. After ferrying back to the mainland we drove along the rugged coast to Fish Creek where we enjoyed eating and watching preparations for “The Fish Boil”. This fish is cooked outdoors in a big iron kettle together with potatoes boiled with their jackets on. Both are then brought indoors, covered with plenty of butter and served with a tangy cole slaw. Most of our group felt they wouldn’t want to go back to this area again without attending

another Fish Boil. After this delicious dinner we returned to our motel for the night. Bright and early Sunday morning we followed the shoreline to Algoma where we visited the Von Stiehl Winery whose delicious wines are made mostly of Montmorency cherries and apples. A delicious broasted chicken dinner was enjoyed at the Fireside Inn in Algoma. The fresh strawberry pie made a hit with everybody. Moving along to Kenosa. we enjoyed stopping at the Mars Cheese Castle where we saw an interesting film on cheesemaking and, of course, we bought cheeses and sausage to take home. Our Elgin friends were returned to Elgin and we returned to Walkerton about 9:30 Sunday evening tired, but happy. Our Presley Tour escort Ginny Witkowski did an outstanding job of making everyone enjoy every minute and the following were some of the winners of her little contests: Ruth Ullery won a free lunch when she guessed almost the exact minute when we would first sight Lake Michigan at Milwaukee. Louis Kemp won a bottle of wine for being the sexiest senior citizen. (Wilder Burnside was the runnerup.) Ruth Ullery won a big sucker for being the baby on the trip. Harry Webster won a sucker for some of the jokes he pulled. Weltha Burnside won a prize for the Superlative State game. Rose Affeld, Amanda Ellinghusen and Ray Jackson all won wine jelly. Leonard Beaty guessed what a crocheted cow was.
