This year's Thresher Reunion will
sure impress Grade 3 students from
various public schools in the Huron
County area.
For those students who are
studying Pioneer Life, as part of the
curriculum, it's an opportunity for
them to see first-hand many of the
tools and early machines Used by
their ancestors.
The students will have the chance
to meet and talk to people who have
preserved history by collecting,
restoring or building models of early
equipment.
Mike Hallahan, this year's co-
ordinator, has come up with a booklet
full of general information, study
questions, and various activities for the
students to complete while at the
Thresher Reunion. There are also
activities for the students to complete
at school.
The various displays and attractions
that the students should visit include;
log cabin, antique tractor display,
threshing demonstration, antique car
display, antique tools and gas engine,
model displays, miniatures,
ornamentals, tropical birds and the
OPP Canine Detection Team.
For each of the various areas, the
students will have questions and
activities to complete.
For example when the students
visit the antique tractor display, they
have to find which tractor model
number is divisible by 11, also they
have to find and name three models
that are named after the equine (horse)
family.
The threshing demonstration will
teach the students how the crops were
harvested and with what tools. They
will learn many different terms such as
winnowing, flail, cradle, and the
reaper.
The students will observe the
material as it moves through the
machine and how the twine is cut as it
.enters the machine.
With each of the displays there
arealso classroom activities that the
students can complete when they get
back to school.
Lynda McGregor, the executive
director for the Foundation for
Enriching Education, has helped by
contacting the various schools and by
getting funds to help with the cost of
the school buses.
Hallahan hopes to see many students
come out and enjoy what the Reunion
has to offer.
And .for the students who come out
this year their work be put on display
next year.
