It's an amazing sight to see as hundreds of campers pull into the Blyth
fairgrounds each vear to enjoy the fun of the Huron Pioneer Thresher
Reunion and Hobby Show. The little village grows in attendance with each
show.
Children's events geared to 10 and younger
It is that time of year when the 36th
Annual Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby
Association Reunion, Sept. 5-7 in Blyth
brings family fun in activities and displays.
As well as threshing events, tractors pulls,
log sawing competitions, crafts, music and
lots of great food, committee member Fred
deBoer is organizing special events just for
the children.
The events are generally aimed at children
10 years and younger though some older
children are included. The activities will run
on Saturday and Sunday afternoons
beginning at 2 p.m., at Radford’s ball
diamond.
The most popular event is the tractor pull
for the children. The youngest group will be
for four-year-olds and younger. Other
classifications will be five and six-year-olds,
seven and eight-year-olds and so forth. The
number of classes will depend on the
number of children who wish to participate.
The event is run just like the adult pull.
The trailer, which is pulled by the pint-sized
tractors, gradually shifts the weight to the
rear. This increases the drag as the puller
advances down the track.
An event added this year for the older
children will be a board sawing contest, a
