"Christmas Entertainment and Gift Guide" 1 PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 30, 1993 - 3 100,000 lights brighten Christmas season Cullen Gardens a fantasy Cullen Gardens and Minia- ture Village is a fantasy land like no other. What makes Cul- len Gardens so exciting for eve- ryone is the seemingly endless miniature delights found amidst 100,000 sparkling lights. Along the pathways are hundreds of miniature homes, churches, schools and business- es which are found everywhere in southern Ontario. People come from far and wide to marvel at the beauty and detail of the miniature San- ta Claus parade which boasts more than 20 animated floats, the two full-size Nativity scenes, animated light display of Bambi and Thumper, and a locomotive. New displays this year in- clude an amazing tunnel of lights along the path by Lynde Creek, a larger than life glitter- ing snowman and specially- lighted reindeer in the rose gar- den. For the shopper, there are four shops in which to pick up Christmas gifts for that special someone, including the Whistle Make plans for your pets If you are going away for the holidays don't forget to make ar- rangements for your best friend. The Toronto Humane Society offers a few tips to keep in mind if you are planning on leaving your pet with a friend. Give your sitter a written de- scription and photo of your pet in case it gets lost or tries to find its way home. The description will help distinguish your pet from others. Include breed, col- or, sex and any other distin- guishing marks. Keep a written account of your pet's tag numbers and type of collar. Keeping track of its license number, rabies identification number and where they were purchased will help to see that your pet is returned quickly. It when leaving for holidays is also a good idea to buy a tag for your pet's collar and include your sitter's name and phone number while you are away. Remember your pet does not know its way around a strange neighborhood. Remind your sit- ter not to let your pet out on its own. ' If your pet does go missing your pet sitter should inform the local shelters and post signs in the neighborhood as soon as possible. Give your sitter the name and telephone number of your vete- rinarian and a release form for any necessary treatment should your pet become sick or injured. By taking these precautions you will ensure that you come home to a happy and healthy pet. Stop and Bakery. And for the se- rious diner, what better place than the elegant Cullen Gar- dens Restaurant. Enjoy marvel- lous meals that are served while overlooking the spectacular light display.
