Ray Scotchmer and the Friends of the Huron County Museum are a familiar
sight at the Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion in Blyth, cooking of their
special recipe for baked beans to hundreds of hungry visitors.
Whether craving succulent fried fish, tasty
pancakes topped with delicious maple syrup
or a simple hotdog dripping with fried
onions, the 36th annual Hhron Pioneer
Thresher Reunion and Hobby Show will
have a wide variety of foods from which to
choose.
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 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.
A trip to the bean pot at the centre of the
park will provide a hardy meal, the old-
fashioned way. 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 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.
The Shriners will also get the weekend off
to a tasty beginning when they host a fish fry
at Lion’s Park, Friday evening, at 4:30 p.m.
On Sunday, the hot meals will be supplied
by the Bly th Lions. A meal of roast beef,
mashed potatoes and all the trimmings 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 Blyth Lions will also be running the
beer tent in Lions Park on Saturday and
Sunday.
To get the day off to a great start, the
Blyth Fire Department pancake breakfast
will be served from 7:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. at
the fire hall, Saturday and Sunday. The
