A hill of beans
Students had their work cut out for them last weekend at the
Thresher Reunion as they made their way to the fairgrounds
in Blyth from Wingham or right in town as the student
activities would keep them busy. Here, the students have to
identify what beans are in the jar. The wires used to choose
were powered, so there were sounds to let you know if you
got it right or wrong. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
