Thresher Reunion 2005
Wood work
A new attraction at this year’s Reunion is Peter Mogensen
of Mount Forest whose gaining a good deal of recognition
for his chain saw sculptures. Mogensen began scultping
from wood almost 15 years ago and travels to places near
and far to create his masterpieces, many of which are
featured in nearby municipalities. The artist can sculpt any
animal from WOOd. (Citizen file photos)
Horse plowing
demos take place
throughout event
Another memory from the past
was rejuvenated at the annual
Thresher Reunion seven years ago
when horses became part of the
show and the tradition is carrying
on.
The event had been discontinued
at one point due to safety concerns
with horses around large, noisy
steam engines, but the grounds
expansion resulted in the event
returning.
It takes place far from the engines
with a barrier between it and the
campgrounds, proving to be a safe
site.
The equine will be plowing,
discing and cultivating during
demonstrations throughout the
weekend, allowing visitors the
opportunity to witness history come
back to life.
Clubs, organizations
offer variety of fare
Continued from A-10
fairgrounds.
For a hot meal on Sunday the
Blyth Lions Club will provide lunch
and supper at the baseball diamond.
Trinity Anglican Church will
make sure your steam doesn’t run
out towards the end of the night.
They will be serving back bacon on
a bun every night from Wednesday -
Sunday until 10 p.m. and all day
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Legion Ladies Auxiliary will
also be serving a supper meal Friday
and Saturday nights from 4 p.m. - 7
p.m. upstairs at the auditorium.
Anyone with a sweet tooth will be
glad to see Town and County
Support Services flexing their
muscles while scooping out ice
cream. It’s the perfect fix for a hot
day in the sun.
For something different this year,
the Grade 8 students from Blyth
Public School will make sure the
kids are happy with pop and pizza.
Grab a slice and support the school.
All vendors at the Thresher
reunion are local non-profit
organizations. All proceeds go
towards supporting the surrounding
community.
