Fall Colours
Have you ever considered a fall vacation? 
The hills and forests of Bancroft and District put on
an equally good autumn spectacular. Late
September - early October is the time when the red of
the maples, the bronze of the oaks and the gold of the
birches and aspen turn the country side into a kaleidoscope
of colour.
Enjoy a fall colour or studio tour, as well mineral collecting
is also available during the fall season.
Getaway to some of the most beautiful countryside Southern
Ontario has to offer.
Things are quieter in the fall, the crowds have gone and
the local people have time to have a friendly chat. Accommodation
is more readily available, and the restaurants and dining
rooms are not so crowed. It is also the time for church
suppers. Almost every weekend on the the churches has
a turkey, beef, or ham dinner; many with homemade pies
for dessert.
Although the weather may be to cool for swimming, it can
be ideal for boating and canoeing. It is also the ideal
time to go mineral collecting. It is not too hot, the
sites are sparsely attended, so you have time to work
the claim for the bigger and better crystals.
