STILL HOLDING ITS OWN
Village of Kleinburg的点评
点评：t has been many years since we took the kids up to the BINDER TWINE FESTIVAL the weekend after school started ...(BOOOOOO!!!!!)
It was a great Saturday (when it didn't rain....) starting with a DEEELISHUUUSSSS peameal and egg sandwich....covered in WASPS!!!!! and a stroll down Islington Avenue looking at some unique crafts and back in the early days actually buying stuff which we are now donating to VALUE VILLAGE!!!!!!
On occasion we would see Pierre Burton and his wife in period costumes walking up and down as many of the Kleinburgers did for the festival.....he....covertly glancing out of the side of his eyes seeing if anybody recognized him.......
Now, sadly, the drive north on Hwy 27 (don't even mention the 427...) is no longer a drive in the country but rather continuous urban sprawl. The historic BINDER TWINE FESTIVAL is no more after 2020 due to the increasing costs, decline in volunteers...and the final decisive blow....COVID. The once isolated town has been gentrified with mega-mansions up to its front doorstep and the town now has a STOP SIGN in the middle to quell the continuous traffic.
HOWEVER.....................having just been there this past week .....there are some bastions of interest which I would highly recommend your time in a trip to this little village. My surprising HAPPY FOOD PLACE "find" was the COOKIE CRUMBLE CAFE. Although it seems to serve ice cream (good KAWARTHA LAKES) this is also a small restaurant with terrific food. Be prepared to wait as it is very popular. There is also homemade baking available as well. Lots of room on the patio in good weather.
But my initial purpose was to see the TOM THOMPSON exhibit, TRUE NORTH, at THE McMICHAEL GALLERY. This gallery is still hidden far off the road and away from the hustle and noise of the encroaching urban plague.
A beautiful architectural building which melts into the surrounding forest. A massive collection of Canadian artworks but if you want to focus on the Tom Thompson exhibit....stay to the RIGHT. popular but somewhat pricey restaurant on the main floor serves delicious food.
Treat yourself to a drive....but I would suggest NOT on a weekend................................

翻译：自从我们在放学后的周末带孩子们去参加 BINDER TWINE FESTIVAL 以来，已经很多年了……（嘘！！！！！）
这是一个很棒的周六（当时没有下雨......），首先是 DEEELISHUUSSSS 豌豆和鸡蛋三明治......覆盖着 WASPS！！！！沿着伊斯灵顿大道漫步，欣赏一些独特的工艺品，然后回到早期，实际购买我们现在捐赠给价值村的东西！
有时我们会看到皮埃尔·伯顿和他的妻子穿着当时的服装来回走动，就像许多克莱因堡人在节日上所做的那样......他......偷偷地从他的眼睛一侧瞥一眼，看看是否有人认出他…………
现在，可悲的是，沿 27 号高速公路向北行驶（更不用说 427 号公路……）不再是乡村的行驶路线，而是持续不断的城市扩张。由于成本增加、志愿者减少……以及最后的决定性打击……新冠疫情，历史性的宾德麻线节在 2020 年之后不再举办。这个曾经与世隔绝的小镇已经被高档化，前门阶都建有巨型豪宅，现在小镇中间有一个停车标志，以平息不断的交通。
然而............上周刚刚去过那里......有一些有趣的堡垒，我强烈推荐你在旅行中度过到这个小村庄。我惊奇地“发现”了快乐食品广场饼干碎咖啡馆。虽然它似乎提供冰淇淋（卡瓦萨湖很好），但这也是一家小餐厅，食物很棒。准备好等待，因为它很受欢迎。还提供自制烘焙服务。天气好的时候，露台上有很多空间。
但我最初的目的是参观汤姆·汤普森在麦克迈克尔画廊举办的展览《真实的北方》。这个画廊仍然隐藏在远离道路的地方，远离城市瘟疫的喧嚣和噪音。
一座美丽的建筑融入周围的森林中。大量加拿大艺术品收藏，但如果您想重点关注汤姆·汤普森的展览……请靠右走。主楼的餐厅很受欢迎，但价格有些昂贵，提供美味的食物。
犒赏自己开车去......但我建议不要在周末............
