TILE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY „SEPTEMBER 4, 1996. 35th Pioneer Thresher Reunion Many pull together to feed the masses Satisfying one's hunger will not be a problem at the Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association's 35th anniversary Reunion, with booth operators and com- munity groups supplying numerous delicious feasts. As is the long-standing tradition of the reunion, there will be a good selection of food available throughout the three day event held at the Blyth Fairgrounds. There will be food booths strategically placed around the grounds to make -quenching a hunger or thirst very easy. The food will be available at Shed 2, near Second Stage next to the arena ball diamond, close to Radford's diamond on the opposite side of the park and in the Auditorium The Blyth Optimists and Lions will be providing fare such as pop, hotdogs, chips, fries and hamburgers from Friday through Sunday. The Optimists will also offer Oktoberfest sausage. The Blyth Girl Guides, Brownies and Pathfinders will be operating a booth which will supply hungry spectators with muffins, coffee and cold drinks. The Londesboro Lions Club will have a booth set up near the tractor pull area, offering patrons beef on a bun. The Auburn United Church will be serving sandwiches and pie while the Blyth Anglican parish will offer treats near Shed 1. Hotdogs, burgers and fries will be dished out from the food booth in the arena. Interested in some old-fashioned food? A trip to the bean pot at the centre of the park could be the answer. The beans are started early in the morning in a large cast iron pot. They simmer over an open fire throughout the day. As portions are taken out to feed the crowds more beans are added to the brew. This is a typical thresher's soup. The Huron County Museum cooks will be stirring the bean pot as well as popping some corn the old-fashioned way and pouring a little apple cider to wash it all down. For those looking for a sit down meal, the Legion Ladies Auxiliary will be providing a hot meal in the upstairs of the Auditorium. Lunch will be available Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and dinner will be served beginning at 4:30 p.m. and run until 7 p.m. Lunch will consist of soup and a sandwich while at dinner there will be a choice of two meats with all the trimmings. There will be a good selection of desserts to choose from as well, such as pies, cakes and cheesecakes. On Sunday, the hot meals will be supplied by the Blyth Lions. The meal of ham and scalloped potatoes or roast beef will be served for dinner from 4:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. and a light lunch of soup and sandwiches will be available at noon. The Lions will also be running the beer tent in Lions Park on Saturday and Sunday. For early risers, the Blyth Fire Department pancake breakfast will be served from 7:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at the firehall. This will be available on Saturday and Sunday. The menu will include pancakes, and syrup with bacon or sausages and coffee or juice. It is bound to be an enjoyable weekend just sampling the fare at each booth located around the reunion site. REUNION TRADITION — Cooked up by the Huron County Museum staff and volunteers, the bean pot is a favourite for satisfying a hunger.
