Event has sights, sounds of the past Bygone times Like most of the sights and sounds at the Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion, the threshing demonstrations are reminiscent of another era. Crafts galore For those wishing to get out of the warm September sun this past weekend, the arena was filled with crafts and gift items which ranged from glassware and wood carvings to saw blade paintings and homemade salsa sauce. Keeping a careful eye Tying the knot Wilbert Phillippi keeps a watchful eye on the log as it approaches the large blade which will cut it into several planks. The sawmill is run completely by steam engines. Going piggy back Although only three antique trucks were on display for the new class at this year’s Thresher Reunion, organizers are pleased with the showing. The Thresher Reunion and hobby Show provide activities for the young and young at heart aside from watching the steam engines. Bag tying was just one of the events some of the veterans of the sport took part in. For Sunday drivers The antique automobiles on display at the Thresher Reunion bring back some memories for a lot of the people in attendance. Though they’re not much for speed their nostalgic appeal is classic.
