One Sunday, back in the 70's, two friend of mine and I were travelling to PEI from Moncton.

About half way to the Ferry, we called into a conveience store. One of my buddies asked if there was a local place to buy beer and was given directions to a bootlegger. We travelled into the back country, to a log cabin beside a small stream. We stepped up to the door, and asked to buy some beer. The guy at the door said he could not sell us beer to take out, because he did not know us. But, if we wanted to drink a few inside, we were welcome.

So, we stepped inside and he took us downstairs to the basement, where we were handed some cold ones. In the middle of the basement was a pool, which seemed to be stream fed. There were fish in it. WEE were invited to sit around the pool. In front was a coin operated peanut machine, with fish treats. "Feed the fish if you like when you enjoy your beer, only costs a quarter for fish feed", said the owner.

So, we sat there, drank three or four cold ones, fed the fish and watched them splash and swim about. All ad all a good time. And, a real treat of an experience visiting a bootlegger.
