VACATION SUPPLEMENT — TUCKS.JC1.Y 24.1M0 — 3 Cycling vacation beats the energy crunch WATERBURY CENTER, Vt.— Beginning in May, Vermont Country Cyclers are offering unique opportunities to tour Vermont’s country-side on bicycle and to enjoy lodging and meals in country inns.Owners and guides, Bob and Cindy Maynard, each an experienced cycler, have planned tours on quiet and scenic country roads, through covered bridges and past swimming holes.Moderate terrain and easy pace will give each cycler time for off-bike pleasures of hiking, swimming, and hunting for antiques.Because the Maynards have found that many cyclers are also tennis players, tennis lessons from a professional instructor who is also a cycling tour leader will be available daily at no addition to the tour price.In two and three day country weekends cyclers will have a chance to explore the particular attractions of one of three valleys with guides who have a native's knowledge of the area and to spend two nights at a local inn.In the Stowe Valley, cyclers can visit the Cold Hollow Cider Mill, take a gondola ride up Mt.Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, or ride the Alpine Slide at Spruce Peak.In the Mad River Valley there’s Sunday brunch while watching afternoon polo matches, or fine historic covered bridges, or a view of Vermont from the air while soaring in a glider plane In the Black River Valley, touring will follow the shores of Echo, Rescue, and Amherst Lakes, leading to the Calvin Coolidge homestead with its Farmers Museum and Old Cheese Factory.For the cycler who wants to spend more time in Vermont, Country Breakaways are five-day.inn-to-inn tours of some 20 to 35 miles of riding each day and a different country inn each night.On all tours, riders will be accompanied by a support vehicle.The Maynards emphasize that the riding is moderate, so that cyclers have a chance to enjoy all that Vermont has to offer, and the satisfaction of doing it on their own power.The starting points of all the tours can be reached by car, bus.plane or train.In keeping with the energy-efficient means of touring, there is a 10 per cent discount on the tour price to those using public transportation to get there Cyclers can bring their own three, five or 10 speed bicycles or rent a 10 speed from Vermont Country Cyclers, who will teach anyone unfamiliar with a 10-speed how to ride one before the tour begins Tour prices, which include all lodging and meals, range from $95 for a “Country Weekend” to $250 for the “Country Breakaway”.For more information contact: Vermont Country Cyclers Box 148 Waterbury Center, Vermont 05677 (802) 244-5215 Travailing lha Whita Mountain»?Make advance retarvatrami FIRST AID KITS * Proicrlption» * Cotmetic» * Patantad Madkclnaa Dealer - Kodak Polaroid DICKSON’S (RSSgji) PHARMACY OPEN SUNDAY ALSO Cofebrook, N.H.-UI.237-4355 w* Welcome CANADIANS You'll enjoy your holiday in COLEBROOK AND i 4 Cycling offers an energy-conscious way to see the scenery ¦¦ « ».: ; :.;K.' mm f: 3*—*1.*; ?'JP?Northern New Hampshire THE FIRST COLEBROOK BANK "Where Folks Save for the Future" Tel.(603) 237 5551 FDIC MEMBERS A WARM WELCOME TO CANADIAN VISITORS FROM THE NEW MCDONALD’S IN DERBY, VT.McDonalds u U OPEN DAILY 7 DAYS A WEEK EXIT “28” INTERSTATE 91, INTERSECTION WITH ROUTE 51, NEWPORT, ON THE CANADIAN-AMERICAN BORDER.Sun.thru’ Thurs.7 a.m.’til 11:00 p.m.Fri.& Sat.: 7 a.m.to 12:00 p.m.WELCOME TO Howard’s Restaurant THE BEST PLACE TO EAT - - - ''?V**»’-V a*-* wmmm ¦ « We invite all our Canadian friends to take a break while travelling and drop in for a meal.whether your need is a full course or a light lunch !

Frog-jumping contests are a novel feature of the Cookshire fair here, the flowers, vegetables and fruit displays are well worth the visit, and at the same time, one can stimulate their appetite while viewing the array of home baked goodies that are exhibited in the same building.If weekend fairs are too short for the true fair-goer, the next one on the list should satisfy the most addicted.Sherbrooke boasts a nine-day fair, and, although a lack of facilities forces them to send home dairy cattle midway through the week and bring in the beet and heavy horses, this is still a good fair offering a broad variety of entertainment.Giant bingos, air shows, renowned French and English artists have all been featured in the past and this year’s promises a week of good entertainment.In Sherbrooke as well, the 4-H’ers bring their calves which have qualified at smaller local events, resulting in a fine quality exhibition of showmanship ability as well as good animals.Competition is keen, and the ring is lined with parents, brush and currycomb in hand waiting the decision of the judges which will decide which young person will go on to the provincial exhibition in Quebec.Sherbrooke Fair ends August 17 and one hardly has time to draw a sigh of relief before Ayer’s Cliff starts on August 19.Once again, one heads south, travelling into the hills that would take you into Vermont.This small town, located a short distance from Lake Massawippi dozes in the sun for most of the summer, but when fair time rolls around, everything changes.On the fairgrounds, where the buildings are See EVERY Page 5 T'agir The midways are often as popular as the agricultural exhibits - ¦ Blood is needed EVERY DAY é* W T F «V* $15.00 COWANSVILLE GOLF CLUB 1980 MEMBERSHIP Weekends ''-uu and holidays (RESERVATIONS PREFERRED) GOLF PACKAGE Including 5 days of golf (Monday to Fridayl 1 “ per pefSOn 4 nights and 4 breakfasts at Auberge des Carrefours $175.00 per person (sing e Green Fee Weekdays 5 DAYS 1980* Em i Holidays b Weeks 7 DAYS Be a RED CROSS Blood Donor today Membership Initiation fee Membership Man ft Wife (Combined! $280.00 $400.00 It) $515.00 It) only one initiation
