Festival plans complete
Delicious home -baked pork
and beans with all the trimmings
will be the feature attraction
this year at the sixth annual
Bean Festival, which is sched-
uled for this Saturday, August
28. Activities are scheduled to
get under way at noon, and
continue on throughout the rest
of the. day. Close to 10, 000
people are expected to attend
the all -afternoon and evening
programs. Visitors are expected
from many cities in the United
States and Canada.
Since Zurich is located in the
centre of a rich bean -growing
area, many of the visitors will
avail themselves of the opport-
unity to visit local farms where
beans are the major crop. Wag-
ons will be available to transport
these people to where beans are
being grown in large quantities.
Due to the lateness of the season
this year, it is doubtful if any
bean Harvesting will be ready '
at this time.
The beans will be cooking in
old-fashioned iron kettles right
in view of the crowd. Visitors
will be able to eat their meals
at picnic tables spread through-
out the main business areas of
the village. While most of the
activity will centre around the
downtown area, there will also
be horseshoe tournaments taking
place at the Zurich park. Sever-
al ladies' groups and church org-
anizations will have bazaara
and food stands in the streets, and
to add to this there will be pony
rides for the children. Other
activities include checker and
solo competitions in the Town-
ship Hall.
Another feature of the festival
this year will be an outstanding
program of entertainment through
out the afternoon and early even-
ing.
Zurich Centennial Band
will provide musical entertain-
ment as well. A portable stage
will be set up on Mill Street,
where all the entertainers will
perform.
Along with the serving of
home-made pork and beans,
there will be street markets set
up offering for sale such items
as home -wade pies, home-made
sausage, horne-made bread,
hone -made cheese, honey, fresh
fruit and alltype of vegetables.
A newly -added feature last
year was Green Acres Farni,
located just a couple of miles
from the village. Visitors again
will be taken to the farm on buses
and will be given rides on tractor
and horse-drawn vehicles on
their arrival. They will be able
to see all the stars of the popul-
ar television show portrayed,
and can also visit the famous
Drucker's Store at Green Acres
Farm. This again promises to
be one of the most popular addit-
ions to this year's Festival.
