at Thresher
Reunion
Come one, come all, short and tall, big
and small because there is a bevy of
exciting, intriguing and amusing delights
for you at the Huron Pioneer Thresher’s
Reunion in Blyth.
It all starts Friday afternoon which has
been especially designed for the senior
citizens and handicapped individuals who
may find it easier to maneuvre because
things generally aren’t as crowded. For
their pleasure, the Huron Strings, an
old-tyme group from the Seaforth area will
be featured.
The audience can get their hands
clapping to the Fiddler’s Jamboree which
starts at 7:30 p.m. Once again, the famous
former CKNX personality, Johnny Brent
will be the master of ceremonies. Mr.
Brent will also be hosting the Fiddler’s
Contest on Saturday which starts at 2 p.m.
The fiddlers will be accompanied by Dave
Scittich’s band from Hanover.
Saturday night is a big night for the
fiddlers who can play at the jam session
which starts at 6 p.m. Then at 9 p.m. there
will be a dance in the arena to the music of
the Heritage Fiddlers.
Between all these toe-tapping activities,
there are many displays on the grounds
such as the huge, powerful steam engines
and the antique cars. There are usually
over 80 pre-war and post-war cars to be
seen at the show.
There is also a great number of gas
tractors to be seen at the reunion.
Everyday, there is a parade of all the old
tractors which have been restored to their
former glory.
