Port Stanley is going back in time with the old tradition of horse and wagon rides. Elgin County Economic Development announced that the area’s tourism industry continues to grow with the opening of Port Stanley Horse and Wagon. When local business owner Peter Weese realized that no one was providing horse and wagon rides in Port Stanley, he stepped in to fill the gap. "Horse and wagon rides scream tourism," said Weese who is looking forward to the village’s busy festival season. Helping Weese will be two percheron horses, Dolly and Dixie, purchased from the Amish Community north of Aylmer. The horses will pull a wagon purchased from Dr. Jack and Glenda McKenzie of
St. Thomas. The wagon has not been out of the barn since its retirement from the Canada and United States circuit in 1994, but some repairs and a set of new brakes have it in prime working condition. The inaugural wagon ride left from the Telegraph House Bed and Breakfast at 205 Main St., Port Stanley on June 23 at 10 am. In June and September wagon rides will be available on Saturdays and Sundays from noon until 6 pm. In July and August wagon rides will be offered Thursday to Monday from noon to 6 pm. The rides will cost $5 per person with children under three riding for free. For more info: Peter Weese peterweese@gmail.com
