(Formerly Bill Hull Res.) Traditional feasts are part of th fun The years 1of the threshing machine are not only remembered for their innovation to the harvesting work, but also for the sump- tious meals that accompanied the great fall event. The fresh fall air and the strenous labor involved in bringing in the harvest meant big appetites. While the men worked in the fields, women labored in hot kitchens, preparing huge feasts for the threshing gangs. The traditional threshing feasts are remembered with the variety of good homecooking offered at the Blyth Thresher Reunion. Food booths, breakfasts and dinners at the three day event offer culinary treats for people of all tastes. One of the most ,popular eating spots is located in the arena auditorium where the Blyth Legion Ladies Auxiliary, under the direction of Lillian Riehl, serve lunches, snacks and hot dinners.' Hot meals will include turkey, beef or sausage dinners, cabbage salad, garden fresh vegetables and homemade pies. Some 70 pies have been baked to feed the hundreds of dinner guests and a new addition to this • year's dessert menu is cherry cheesecake. Egg, salmon, turkey and beef sandwiches and dessert will be served for lunches. Proceeds from the meals are directed back to the Legion Auxliary, then delegated for community work. Money is also given to minor sports, in ap- preciation for the help that their supporters offer the Auxiliary ladies at the food booths. Those who are familiar with the threshing reunion, are also familiar with the hospitali- ty and cooking talents of the Blyth Lions Club. The Lions Club will operate a beer garden in Lions' Park on Saturday and will serve a hot roast beef dinner , at' the arena auditorium on Saturday night. This year the Lions will also be hosting the OPP Pipes and Drums band to a Friday night meal. • The money raised by the Lions Club at the reunion. will help offset the costs of new pic- nic pavilion, built at Lions' Park. Members of the Blyth Fire Department will again be joining the food service ranks at the reunion. For the third year in a row, the firemen will be serving up pancake . breakfasts at the Fire Hall on Saturday and Sunday mbining. Pies, hot dogs, cider and bean pots, pop- corn and ice cream treats are some of the ,.many taste treats that can. be found on the grounds of the thresher reunion.
