Baked beans by the pot-full served at Reunion
Home-made baked bean ex
pert Ray Scotchmer of Goderich
will once again be on hand to
preside over the preparation of
close to 200 lbs. of white beans,
cooked for seven tantalizing
hours in the Huron County
Museum’s30 gallon antique
iron bean pot, over open fire
outdoors at the Thresher Re
union.
Sixty pounds of beans, don
ated by W. G. Thompson at Port
Albert, will be cooked and
served on each one of the three
days, starting at 7a.m. to be
ready by 1:30 p.m. They will
disappear in less than an hour
to the waiting crowd.
Three kg. of brown sugar, 18
Spanish onions, 3 lbs. butter, 4
large cans of tomato juice, 95
lbs. of ham hocks and salt also
go into the beans over the three
days, according to Mr. Scotch
mer who has been chief cook
and bottle washer of the
beanfest for the past four years.
Fresh, buttered popcorn,
donated by Pioneer Seeds, will
also be served, as will cold and
hot mulled cider and fresh corn,
if the latter two items are
available by the weekend. The
corn is cooked in the bean pot
once the beans have vanished,
using steam from an antique
steam engine, and served hot in
the husk to all comers. There is
no charge for any of this
mouth-watering food, but don
ations to the Huron County
Museum and the Blyth Thresh
er Reunion are greatly appre
ciated, says Mr. Scotchmer,
curator of the museum.

show I almost think of it as a
mini-Expo,” he says.
One of the policies of the
Blyth group is that it wants all
equipment at the show to be in
operatingcondition, he says
and it helps to make the show
more interesting. If he goes to
pick up a machine the under
standing is that the machine is
to be operating at the show, not
just sitting there like a lawn
ornament.
One of the nicest things
about the annual reunion, he
says, is the way it seems to
rejuvenate some of the older
participants. Heremembers
picking up one old member and
having him play his fiddle in the
truck cab. He dropped the
fiddler off at the show and when
Ray went home at 2 a.m. the
next morning, the fiddler was
still entertaining people from
the back of a pickup.
