We used to do weekly hayrides with campers when I worked at camp. I remember one year we actually took the haywagon to the crive in in Goderich for a staff evening out….I see a few familiar faces in this photo, from sometime in the early- mid 80’s: Lynn Turville, Kris Campbell, Peter Muir?, Ian??? someone’s gonna have to help with others.
This dates back to the 1980s. The man with the horse and wagon was Clete Dalton – from Kintail. Clete really enjoyed coming back to the camp and taking the staff and campers on wagon rides. Clete always had a song to sing, and a story to tell.
I believe this was summer ’83 or ’84. The kid with the dark glasses is Travis Allison, and the kid standing behind Ian McLean I think is Chris Buckingham. Lynn Turville, Peter Muir and Iam McLean are the staff in the photo. Clete gave us Hayrides for 5 or 6 summers, every Sunday night. He died one or two years ago. Good times!!
Wow! Yes – that’s me alright – and yes, Lynn, Kris, and Peter. It’s the summer of ’84 – a fantastic summer . . . I recognize some of those campers. I think it was my first ever group. This photo looks so old!. . . . .
That was the summer of 84 . The others have named the staff and I don’t remember any of the campers . I do remember Ruth Ann Herbison riding one of the horses bareback while we were on a wagon ride and then she smelled like the horses …hahaha I also remember hitching up the wagon to my Father’s Suburban and driving around the “Square” in Goderich and then going to the Drive Inn to see Red Dawn ( one of the worst movies ever ) . The lady at the Theatre gate didn’t know what to charge us or where to park us. Kate is right Good Times !!!
Haa Ha – I remember that haywagon experience at the drive in – I believe the hay wagon made a few trips around the square in Goderich too. I had forgotten you were the one driving Peter!
