Downhome(r) magazine had a dart league in Toronto, Ontario in 1989-91. Shown here is Sis Crawford of Schomberg, Ontario, who was a member of that league. She dropped by to say hello to us at Brigus.
Wreckhouse
Known as the windiest place in Newfoundland, the Wreckhouse area on the island’s southwest corner produces gale-force winds so intense, they have blown trains off their tracks. The Wreckhouse inspires awe with both its beauty and its punch. Wreckhouse wine, made from hand-picked, locally grown partridgeberries, offers the tantalizing taste of apple with the special “zip” of the wild partridgeberry. It’s a combination that’ll blow you away.
