A celebration of agriculture
The Huron Foodfest, sponsored by
the Seaforth Lions Club and created
in 1984, drew 575 visitors this year.
"It's a celebration of agriculture in
Huron County," says Gord Rimmer,
a Seaforth Lions Club member who
played a major role in planning the
event.
The Huron Foodfest features an
array of food products, all from
Huron County, in a giant
smorgasbord. At the Seaforth Com-
munity Centre last month, food
tables filled the middle of the hall.
Often people involved in the produc-
tion of the food served it to the
hungry guests. The beef, pork, lamb,
and turkey, for example, were carved
by farmers who produce the respec-
tive commodities. Displays were also
set up by various agricultural groups.
The menu included roasted
potatoes, baked beans, corn niblets,
green peas, mashed rutabagas, sliced
eggs, dinner rolls, pickles, relishes,
beef, pork, lamb, and turkey. Ice
cream with strawberries or maple
syrup along with milk and coffee top-
ped off the meal.
Olga Speiran of R.R. 3, Brussels handed out dozens of glasses of milk at the
Huron Foodfest.
