The Town of Wiarton

The town of Wiarton is small and quaint. There is a lot of history here. Lots of buildings from the past; Explore them to your heart's content. There is a park where children like to play; It is their favourite place to be. On hot days they can cool off by jumping through the sprinklers The children have lots of fun that way. The smaller kids play in the sandbox,enjoying playful games. They enjoy digging in the sand,until the end of day. That's when they go home and sleep through the eve. Mothers also get a much needed rest!antiz Attractions come to town,drawing large crowds. Fall fair, antique car show,Wiarton Willie just to name a few. There is a lot of fun for everyone to enjoy People love to return , year after year,to our little town. Whenever I'm on a short trip,it never fails. I'm always anxious to return home. As the door opens,we feel a welcome hug It is the greatest feeling of all. People here are friendly and helpful. They make me feel like I belong, In a way that big cities never did. I always feel at home here.

Hi Darlene...this lovely town reminds me of my birthplace, Safi, a village with a population of around 2,200, and it is small and quaint! So I take it that you are Canadian:) ~ Regards // paul

Ms Darlene De -- I love the innocence captured here from the perspective of a child playing and experience of a day in Wiarton (especially in the first three stanzas). I get swept away in the innocence and then when the "Attractions...drawing large crowds..." stanza is introduced, I feel that the everyday perspective draws me in even further to embrace the joy of the everyday life of your setting, your town, your home. Thank you for sharing, Wesley
