Rain doesn't dampen fun to be had at reunion
The big weekend
Few events have as large an impact on the population of
Huron County as the annual reunion of the Huron Pioneer
Thresher and Hobby Association. With thousands of visitors
and hundreds of campsites filled, the event brings in droves
of fans. Clockwise from top left: Steam engines are the star
of what is coloquioally referred to as the steam show; The
Blyth Lions food booth was a great place to get a snack with
Lion Sharen Stadlemann and Hullett Public School Grade 8
students Kiara Driscoll and Brinna Bremner dressing
hamburgers; John Heaman entertained the masses; the
annual church service kicked off with music from Audibly
Awesome; blacksmiths plying their trade; the antique car
show was a big hit and the new Memorial Building was
opened as part of the festivities on Friday, from left:
