Another great weekend
It was a great weekend for a Reunion and Blyth pulled it off
in a fantastic way. Clockwise, from top: Tom Maltby and
Country Grass were performing on Friday afternoon just
before the opening ceremonies of the 49th annual Huron
Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association Reunion were
held; horses that were part of a demonstration at the
Reunion and took a quick break to chow down on some
corn between shows on Friday; the Teeswater Pipe Band
was on hand on Saturday at the Reunion, performing twice
throughout the day for the lucky fans; students from across
the county got to experience old-fashioned, manual, hand-
powered methods of everything from separating cream to
shucking corn at the Reunion; all sorts of engines were on
display at the Reunion, including antique steam engines;
the Bluewater Shriners were frying up a great meal at the
Blyth Lions Park during the Reunion on Friday. The funds
from the dinner support Shriners Hospitals, and the funds
needed to transfer patients there and the children’s special
events were a popular attraction once again this year. Here
eight-year-old Alexander Ormon of Port Elgin took the leap
and gave the rope bridge a try. (Jim Brown, Denny Scott and Shawn
