Campers
enjoy
the stay
The fun-filled days of the Huron Pioneer
Thresher Reunion has many people
wanting to stay. So, when the annual
Reunion comes to Blyth each September,
an unusual phenomenon which has
become known as the "tented city" is re-
born.
Hundreds of campers (600 at last count)
journey to the village to partake in the
various festivities.
In order to secure a space, campers used
to begin arriving earlier and earlier. In
order to acommodate this, the Reunion
organizers developed a pre-registration
policy a few years ago.
Camping facilities for the Reunion are
very good, considering that the area serves
that purpose only occasionally for special
events such as the Reunion. Some time
ago, 24 acres to the west of the area were
purchased by the village. Two-thirds was
paid by the Threshers, while the remainder
came from the Ministry of Tourism and
Recreation. The government grant was
used to construct a road from the campsite
to County Road 25, thus alleviating the
worry of .moving vehicles and campers
through any mud that may be around.
There arc now well over 700 sites.
