Saugeen Culture Bus Tour ready to roll

Local history and culture enthusiasts are urged to get their tickets for the 2024 Saugeen Culture Bus Tour.

The event on Saturday, October 26, will take participants on a journey through some fascinating cultural sites in the Township of Wellington North, Town of Minto, and Town of Hanover.

The tour kicks off at 10 a.m. sharp and promises a full day of activities, with a return at 4 p.m.

Buses will be departing from locations in Arthur, Harriston and Hanover. For $25, participants will enjoy a lineup of stops that would typically cost over $150.

The itinerary includes visits to the Silver Fox Distillery in Arthur for a tour and tastings, a stop at the Mount Forest Museum and Archives in Mount Forest for a historical tour, and a visit to The Barrel House in Clifford for more tastings.

The day will also feature a live performance by the Grey Wellington Theatre Guild at the Harriston Town Hall, behind-the-scenes tour of the Hanover Civic Theatre and storytelling at the Hanover Cemetery.

Participants will be offered a variety of refreshments, including a bagged lunch, a donut from Shultz’s Gone Totally Baked in Hanover, coffee from Ashanti Café in Hanover, and a special gift from Casa Verde in Arthur.

Tickets can be purchased online at SaugeenCultureBusTour.Eventbrite.ca.

One of the buses departing from Harriston will have a service dog on board, so participants with allergies are encouraged to book a seat on a bus from a different location.
