1998 HURON PIONEER THRESHER REUNION & HOBBY SHOW
Horse demonstrations bring back a past tradition
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
A memory from the past will be
rejuvenated at the 37th annual Thresher
Reunion and Hobby show in Blyth when
horses will once again participate.
Discontinued several years ago due to
safety concerns with horses around the
large, noisy steam engines, the equine will
be back in the village for plowing, discing
and cultivating demonstrations Friday and
Saturday.
Murray Siertscma of Blyth says two or
three local teams, as well as his own
Belgiums, will be harnessed up to work a
small field in the northwest corner of the
arena grounds.
The site is good, says Siertsema because
it is far from the engines and with the
expansion of the campgrounds, there is
more of a barrier between the two areas.
The two and a half acre field, next to the
soccer field where the sheep dog
demonstrations will take place, was
prepared earlier this year when thresher
alumni watched Siertsema's horses
harvest the grain the old-fashioned way.
It will be an added attraction, says
Siertsema. It will give visitors an
opportunity to see the old equipment
working again.
RIDING HIGH
It's bells and whistle entertainment at
the Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion
and Hobby Show. While older folk
enjoy the sights and sounds of their
childhood, today's youngsters are
enchanted by the very different
things they see — and climb on.
