The Village Tracy, also with a discernable village centre, has the same potential.<\/p>\n<p>Other attractions of Fredericton Junction and the Route 101 area include Fredericton Junction&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/frederictonjunction.ca\/come-home-week-2015-2\/\">Come Home Week festival<\/a>, fishing, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hallsorchard\">U-Picks like Halls Apple Orchard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rural areas and small towns and communities face serious challenges, and residents may not want too much growth which would change the character of these communities, but nonetheless beautification and walkability of village centres along with promoting proximity to nature are priorities for planners and local politicians to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>For many rural communities, villages, and towns, proximity to natural surroundings, as an attraction for tourists and new residents, can be a key economic asset.

This is a private property open to the public which features the South Branch Oromocto Falls. I had a great conversation with the owner of this property who stopped his truck to speak to me, we talked about the trails, the waterfall, and about fishing.<\/p>\n<p>There was another experience of New Brunswick hospitality when I lost my watch near the waterfall while maneuvering along the rocks. In a conversation with someone enjoying the South Branch Oromocto Falls, I offhand mentioned that I lost my watch and that my car (as it was not an SUV) was parked some distance away as, closer to the property, the road was dirt and gravel.<\/p>\n<p>On my way back, I found my watch attached to my windshield wiper. Not only had this person found my watch, but he went out of his way to go back to my car and leave it in a place I would easily find it.<\/p>\n<p>The hospitality and friendliness of people is another plus to this area and to New Brunswick.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6553\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6553\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/P1010064.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6553\" src=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/national\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/P1010064-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Individual who found my watch and put it on my car where I could easily find it, New Brunswick hospitality.\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Individual who found my watch and put it on my car where I could easily find it, New Brunswick hospitality.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/waterfallsnewbrunswick.ca\/?p=317\">The South Branch Oromocto Falls (photo below)<\/a> is one of the attractions on the Kirkpatrick Property.
