During the week of the Huron
Pioneer Thresher Reunion the
population of Blyth grows con
siderably.
Joe Hallahan, whois in charge of
camping at the Reunion, estimates
there were about 150 campers at
the Thresher Reunion last year
when it marked its 25th anniver
sary . He does n ’ t know how many to
expect this year but the number of
campers has grown steadily.
Now in his third year as
chairman of the camping commit
tee, he says that there seems to be
new people coming each year and
when they talk to him they indicate
they’ll be back. “Some of the
people seem to think this show has
points over the rest of them (the
other steam shows in the province)
he said.
This year the association has
advertised provision of “primi
tive” camping facilities because
last year some camper arrived
without cords to connect them
selves to the power supplies.
It’s difficult trying to plan the
camping area, Joe says, because
although some people call ahead to
reserve a space, you never know
until people arrive the size of all the
trailers or motor homes and how
you canfiteverybody in. Every
body also wants to reserve the
spots under the half-dozen trees on
the grounds, he says.
Another difficulty, hesays, is
getting enough help to organize
the campers when they arrive. A
half dozen or so workers are
needed and with the association
members having so many jobs to do
more outside volunteers come in
handy.
