When Eldon decides to save money by drawing a map of Prince Edward County, Sid and Idee get lost and have to figure out how to get there on their own. Luckily, they find an advertisement for a historic cruise with Pete Ferri of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada, but their leisurely boat ride turns out to be a first-hand lesson in some of the hardships endured by early settlers of historic Adolphustown. At first, Prince Edward County seems like a sleepy little place, but Idee and Sid soon start to sense something fishy going on. There’s the strange mystery behind the Lake on the Mountain. Then they meet 11-year-old Indigo, and Park Interpreter Casey Ringham, who take them to Sandbanks Provincial Park, where giant sand dunes slowly encroached on a town and buried some of it’s buildings and farmland long ago. 14-year-old Kevin, a local treasure hunter and storyteller, digs for buried treasure along the Outlet River. And it’s not every day you come across the largest ship graveyard in Lake Ontario in the weird and mysterious Marysburg Vortex. Of course, there’s nothing bizarre and paranormal going on in The County. It’s all in their heads – or is it?

After Eldon hops on the reality television bandwagon, he decides to increase the ‘drama’ on CG Kids by creating a contest called the Factory of Fear. Idee and Sid are pitted against each other in a battle of wit, skill and courage as they brave the depths of the Bonnechere Caves. With the help of local spelunker, 16-year-old Dan, they learn how calcite deposits form into stalagmites and stalactites. Next, they square off over the terrifying white water of the Mattawa River, a Canadian Heritage river and original Trans Canada Highway. Bill Steer of the Canadian Ecology Centre gives them a lesson in the Canadian Voyageurs. Lastly they scale the dizzying heights of the fire lookout tower in the Petawawa Research Forest. Steve D’Eon, the forest manager shows them how some trees actually need forest fires, and then our fearless hosts battle a controlled forest fire with Forest Fire Crew Supervisor, Blair Kelly. It’s daring and dramatic. Who will prevail? Who will run away, crying like a baby? Who will keep score? What do they win? What is Eldon’s favourite rock band? These questions and more will be answered on this special edition CG Kids: Factory of Fear!
