High stepping dancers show their talents at
the reunion. The outdoor entertainment also
mcludes the fiddlers' contest and: perfor-
mances by local bands.
Buttons and Bows the Clowns from Windsor will be back at the thresher show again this
year to entertain the youngsters. Puppet and magic shows. animal balloon creations and
face painting are the clowns specialty areas. Last year dozens of children, like 'Cathy
Nesbitt of Auburn and R onda Stadelmann of Blyth got a new look.
Good, home cooked. food is a highlight of the three-day reunlon and the volunteer cooking
staff guarantees that no one will go home hungry. Homemade pies, sandwiches, pancake
breakfasts, hot dogs and fries and barbecued beef dinners satisfy those harvest style ap-
petites.
