Blyth campers get better facilities
BY USA BOONSTOPPEL
Campers living at the Blyth arena
grounds during the Huron Pioneer Thresh
er's Reunion will live a life just a little
easier this year due to the installation of
about eight more hydro and water outlets
on the grounds.
The main camping area situated directly
west from the arena has been outfitted with
about five hydro boxes that are also
equipped with water outlets. The remain
ing hydro and water outlets will be making
campers at the extreme southend of the
grounds more comfortable. The boxes are
situated on the lights at the Radford ball
diamond.
A new transformer was installed in the
large camping area which allowed the
installation of the hydro services and is also
big enough to handle more electrical
outlets said Joe Hallahan, the parking and
camping chairman for the Thresher Re
union executive. The water will come from
the arena supply.
The installation of the outlets was done
to accommodate the influx of campers and
trailers that camp all Thresher’s weekend
on the Blyth arena grounds. Last year, the
few hydro boxes in the area were
overloaded. Since approximately 250 to 300
campers are expected to inhabit the
grounds this year, the outlets were
installed
“Last year, we had about 250 trailers
and campers and we are expecting more
this year,” said Mr. Hallahan.
The outlets, which are permanent fix
tures to the grounds, were planned,
installed and paid for by the Thresher’s
Reunion club, the Blyth Hydro-electric
Commission and the Blyth Water Commis
sion. The electric and water commission
paid for half of their services using a
portion of their allocated PRIDE funding.
The Thresher Reunion club paid for the
other half, explained Helen Grubb, the
clerk-treasurer for the Village of Blyth.
No other changes have been made
towards parking and camping regulations.
There is no reserved camping and if
visitors want a good spot, they are advised
to come early. The cost for using the Blyth
facilities is a maximum of $18 for the
weekend and $6 for single days.
