The population of the tiny village on the corners of Huron and Bruce County grew close to 2,500 as people from far and near swarmed to the arena grounds to taste the delicious Belmore maple syrup smothering hot butter -soaked pancakes and brown farm sausage. Seated at the tables which filled the arena, it was like old home week as former residents chatted across the tables and familiar taps on shoulders. united buddies of years ago. Throughout the arena, booths were set up where handmade crafts, maple products, home baking, 4-H displays, farm meat, souvenirs, art and other goodies could be purchased as memen- toes of the special day. Winners of special draws were Mrs. Stan Hays who won the quilt and Karen Weber of ,Mildmay who won a seven -pound Hershey bar. The registration book, which was. signed by visitors as they arrived or left the arena, was signed by a man from Sweden who, we surmise would take honors for coming the farthest distance, no doubt just for the occasion! In the Sugar Shanty, evapo- rators were busily working to ,show visitors just what happens to the sap between the time it leaves the tree and reaches the table. Operators were taking orders for the genuine stuff which is expected to be more plentiful as the temperature rises.
