Threshers association marks 55th annual show
HPTHA reunion
The fun at the annual reunion of the Huron Pioneer
Thresher and Hobby Association takes all forms and isn't
regulated to the campground that hosts the event.
Clockwise, from left: Thursday marked the continuation of
the antique Plough Day where antique tractor and steam
engine owners show that their equipment can still make the
first cut; Brett and Olivia Young picked up potatoes as part
of the antique potato harvesting demonstration; the
Shriners hosted their successful annual fish fry on Friday
evening; the opening ceremonies brought out dignitaries
like, from left, MPP Lisa Thompson, association Vice -
President Doug McCann, North Huron Reeve Neil Vincent,
association President Peter Hendriks and MP Ben Lobb;
the parade on Friday featured many tractors, including
several International models which were the featured
tractor of the event; antique farm machinery of all kinds can
be found on the grounds including -horse drawn implements
and threshing is of course a big part of the event and
happens several times throughout the weekend. (Shawn
