Russ Wilson has seen many shows
Continued from page A-10
shows but at times worked at
them. He recalls going with
Hugh Chisholm, one of the
founders of the Blyth show, to
judge at the Georgian Bay show
at Collingwood. All took part in
judging the machinery but
when it came to horses they left
it to Russ to do the judging, he
recalls with a chuckle.
Although he was once on the
executive of the Blyth show
himself, he finally told the
association that it was time to
let some younger people get
involved. He thinks there is a
pretty good bunch of younger
people involved in the leader
ship of the organization today.
Recalling back to his own
days with threshing gangs he
recalls that he always liked a
Bell engine (made in Seaforth)
and a Waterloo threshing
machine best. In those days he
ran the separator and received
the princely sum of $1 a day.
He recalls other old-time
threshing gangs in the area
such as the outfit run by Dan,
Simon and John Hallahan. He’s
a fount of history of all kind,
remembering back three gen
erations before himself in his
own family. He’s been a
popular source of folklore in
Blyth for many years, helping
out, for instance, writers and
directors at the Blyth Festival in
researching times past. He was
made an honourary board
member of the Festival.

Miniature steam engines and threshing machines have become
as m uch a part of the show over the years as the real thing. And
for model buffs, the chance to exchange information is always a
good reason to come to the show.
