Games
Come in. Pull up a chair.
Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.

Got a place worth the drive?
Down the road
Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.
St. Anthony
st-anthony · The Viking Trail
The big town at the top of the island - icebergs, whales, and Grenfell's hospital.
St. Anthony, the largest town at the tip of the Northern Peninsula, takes its name from St. Anthony Haven as recorded by Jacques Cartier in 1534. It grew from a fishing station into the service hub of the French Shore and became the headquarters of Wilfred Grenfell's medical mission after 1900. Today it is the base for trips to L'Anse aux Meadows and for iceberg and whale watching at the mouth of the strait.
How to get there
At the tip of the Northern Peninsula on Route 430: Fishing Point trails in town, Grenfell properties and Tea House Hill, and the drive to L'Anse aux Meadows 45 minutes north.
When

Fact
Where that comes from
On the go
Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.
The kitchen
Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.
The hall
Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.
The yarns
He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.
Not the house
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
