THE CARTER HOUSE IN KINGSTON TOUR, SEPT 13.

The fabulously popular tour to the Kingston Peninsula featuring a home-cooked turkey lunch with all the trimmings at the village’s historic 1810 Carter House is on again this year!

The rain-or-shine tour starts at the Ramada Inn, Fredericton, at 10:45 a.m, Sunday, Sept. 13, or from Saint John. Prepared by the volunteers at The Carter House, the lunch cost is $20—not $30 per person (in cash only please). Numbers are limited to the first 30 reservations made by emailing me at jmbowles@nb.sympatico.ca by the deadline, noon Tuesday Sept 8. Reservations made are a commitment to attend or pay in lieu. After lunch, tour participants will have a chance to visit the local museum and church before moving onto the Dunhams Run vineyard run by owner and British sports car enthusiast Tony Ricketts. Later, the Grand Bay-Westfield ferry will take us homeward bound.

The 1810 Carter House Team Room and Gift Shop (to give it its full name today) operates during July and August to serve tea and lunch from Tuesday and Saturday. The turkey lunch for FABAC members is a one-off by special arrangement. The Carter House is one of five heritage properties within the Kingston Historic District. The others are the Trinity Anglican Church dated 1789, its rectory dated 1788, the Union House also of 1788, and the Macdonald Consolidated School built in 1910.

Apologies for all the typos in the message. I'm not expecting any errors in the Tour itself!!!!

I just fixed some of them—I was in a rush when I posted it.
