Food booth operators satisfy the big hungers
Hours of fun, observation, conversation
and participation can lead to some big
hungers, but food booth operators at the
Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby
Association's 39th Reunion, are sure to
have a bounty of offers to satisfy any palate.
And when it comes to ensuring (hose
hungers are satisfied, Fred and Deb
Hakkers of Blyth have been overseeing the
task for about six years.
Deb said their involvement began simply
enough when they were asked to just look
after the meals for the Friday and Saturday
evening dances.
“The most unique aspect of this show is
that all booths are non-profit,” said
Hakkers.
There is no competition between booths
at the thresher reunion either, said Hakkers.
“ A meeting is held once a year to set prices
so they are consistent across the grounds.”
Those spots for food vendors are also a
highly sought-after commodity. "I have a
waiting list,” said Hakkers. “If a group
wants a break for one year, I fill them with
another organization. However, if they are
gone for two years, they lose their spot per
manently.”
Today, they have ensured food booths
will be placed strategically around the
grounds to make quenching a hunger or
thirst very easy.
Food will be available on several loca
tions around the park including in the arena
and near the working exhibits as well as the
popular bean pot situated just behind the
arena ball diamond. The Huron County
Museum cooks will be stirring the bean pot
as well as popping some corn the old-fash
ioned way and pouring a little apple cider to
wash it all down.
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 typical thresh
er fare.
On Friday evening only, the Shriner's
Fish Fry will be held across Gypsy Lane at
Lion’s Park, beginning at 4 p.m.
For those looking for a sit-down meal, the
Legion Ladies Auxiliary will be provide 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 will run until 7 p.m.
Lunch will consist of soup and a sand
wich while at dinner, the meal will offer a
choice of two meats and all the trimmings.
There will be a good selection of desserts to
choose from such as pies, cakes and cheese
cakes.
On Sunday, the hot meals will be supplied
by the Blyth Lions.
