Virginia"s Restaurant Hornepayne ON


On our regular trips to Hornepayne , ON to visit our parents who resident in the Hornepayne Community Hospital we have found a new place to eat that you should check out when you are in the neighbourhood. Virginia's Diner 113 Front Street, Hornepayne.


We found out about it from the hospital. Hospital staff take out their long term residents to Virginia's Diner every Tuesday for Tunnie Tuesday. $2.00 for tea and a homemade dessert made daily by the owner Virginia. Virginia was a Wawa local and is the daughter of Mrs. Vinslovas here of Wawa.


It is a small little diner but she has a big desire to serve her guests in her spotless kitchen. She is opened from 7:00am to 8:oopm. Sarah is the friendly waitress that will serve your delious meal.


There is a small padio out front where the locals catch a beer with their lunch and enjoy the summer.

The Fly- in- fishermen have found this little jewell in the north and enjoy a harty breakfast before they fly out to have a busy day fishing.

The favourite special is her chicken wings. Eat in or take out you will enjoy it. Drop in and say Hi. We know you will not stop at a coffee!

Grandma doors





Come and see the Grandma Doors along the road from the Wawa Goose to the Wawa Beach front. They are the talk of the town. Everyone is talking about the doors and wondering what about grandpa?
This is a one time display and more than 200 doors have been created with a whole lot of love and memories. I am sure some tears fell along the way as local residents tried to tell us about their grandmothers. They include heritage women who contributed growth and development of this town. The are heart warming and some make you laugh. This project has created such a noise in this little town. I think that it is great to see the children of today working along with the adults to promote a positive example with a common goal. I would also note that with 200 hundred doors around town the vandal appears to be the rain and wind. Wawa is a great place to live and we should be proud to call it home. I truly wished I could have done one for my grandmothers but due to family illness it was not possible. To all the grandmothers you must have made some impression on your grandchildren for them to take the time to do this none computer task. They always say, the grandma that rocks the cradel will have a ruler of the world tomorrow. In a very difficult time it is a real positive. It is really nice to see the locals bring their Grandmothers out about town to view their works of art. Good job, Lori and your helpers and to the teachers who supported this display. P.S. Remember you could win $1000.00 in cash & prizes in the Grandma Door Trivia Contest.
