Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1982-09-01, Page 10Times -Advocate, September 1.1982 food fortune smiles on 17th Zurich Bean Festival Annual event maintains successful record A benevolent sun smiled down felt most of the day on l iijch's seventeenth annual been festival. Threatening black clouds rolled in about noon, dropped a few ex- perimental splatters on the crowds and then, perhaps spotting weatherman MC Jay Campbell, rolled on to cast their pall of gloom somewhere else. Mahlon Martin, vice presi- dent of Zurich Minor Athletics Association, left his Bayfield area honkie at 5 a.m. on the big day to start cooking sausages for breakfast customers. A few hungry people were holding out their plates at 7, and by 8 there was a long lineup. "We served 850, up a bit frogh last year," Martin said. The Association would have had no problem beating last year's record, but cut off ticket sales at 10:15. Those too late for their share of 120 pounds of pancake mix and 220 pounds of sausage switch- ed their menu to beans. "It was an all-round good day, probably the best we ever had. We cooked more beans than ever, and had less left over," Festival commit- tee president Chuck Erb noted afterwards. Erb did not yet have the of- ficial figures, but estimated total attendance at a "good 15,000", with between 8,000 and 9,000 buying bean dinners. Food committee chairman Betty Kirk reported no snags, and no directcomplaints.This was the first test of the new elements installed in the cookers after last year's Festival and they worked very efficiently. "It was an earlier crowd than usual," Betty noted. (She left her post only once, to purchase a "super hot dog" at the Bluewater Rest Home booth.) Alma Westlake's choice in entertainment kept a large crowd in front of the stage all afternoon watching the magi- cians, the ventriloquist and BODY LANGUAGE - Tom Geliniak prepares to encourage his entry in the frog jum- ping contest at the Zurich Bean Festival to leap -frog ahead.

Toes were kept tapping to the jazz band and the Mozart Melodymakers. Meteorologist Jay Camp- bell was a popular MC. He was presented with so many poems throughout the day by everyone from teenagers to grandmothers that he will not have to spend the next rainy day going from sad to verse. The bus tours to area farms were well received. The com- mittee plans to add another bus next year. The frog jumping contest attracted 30 entrants and a throng of spectators. Some sat within the outer ring, and more than one got a frog in the lap. "I like the kids crowding around. It adds to the fun, organizer Dr. Charles Wallace said later. By the way, his official frog jumping hat was missing shortly after the finish of the match. Although no records were broken, a jump off was necessary in the under three inch class, as two frogs in the smaller class tied at 74 in- ches. Final winners in that category were owner -trainers Mark Lansbergen, Jason Steinman and Tom Geliniak. Amphibians temporarily out of control of David Thiel, Matthew Wright and Carol Carter placed first, second and third in the over three inch class. Entrants in the horseshoe pitching tournament had to contend With a brisk wind.

After the last visitor to the Zurich Bean Festival had departed, an ecumenical clean-up crew made short work of picking up the profu- sion of garbage left behind. The Catholic, Lutheran, Men- nonite and United Churches each sent a couple of young men over .to restore order. The Festival kitchen was cleaned and closed in the record time of 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon. And the Zurich committee could add another , successful Bean Festival to their record.
