Thresher Reunion offers great entertainment
Entertainment is certainly not lacking at
the Thresher Reunion. Among the many
machines to look at, and the different
displays surrounding the arena there are
fiddle contests, jam session, jamborees, step
dance competitions, and local talent show.
Gladys Van Egmond has been in charge
of organizing entertainment for the Thresher
Reunion since 1985. Part of her job is to
keep a mailing list of all the participants at
the Reunion from year to year; then she
sends invitations to the performers about one
month ahead of the event. There are a lot of
repeat performers, so the weekend has
turned into more than a reunion for
threshers.
During the year Mrs. Van Egmond goes
to other competitions to scout for new talent.
She says she always has "an ear out for good
music". If she likes someone she finds, she
will send the person an invitation to perform
at the Thresher Reunion.
Wednesday, Sept. 9 is the campers' jam
session. Mrs. Van Egmond says about half
the campers will be at the fairgrounds by
that date and this gives them something to
do. There will also be Euchre games.
Thursday is the fiddle jam session. A
fiddle workshop for interested fiddlers will
take place in the arena auditorium as well.
On Friday, Mrs. Van Egmond has lined
up a lot of fun. The Huron Strings will play
on the main stage at 1:00 p.m. She plans to
ask local step dancers to perform as well.
Friday evening is the Jamboree in the
auditorium. The entire day is designated as
Handicapped and Senior Citizens' Day.
A fiddle contest is the main attraction on
