Even Saturday, despite the downpour, that aroma brought the people back, making organizers laugh at their early -morning fears. "Knew they'd all come... never worried at all, what else can you do on a rainy day... told you we'd have no probl- ems.,, Activities first got under way in the village at 8 a.m. when the Zurich Minor Athlet- ic Association served a pan- cake and sausage breakfast to early visitors. They continu= ed their breakfast until 11 a.m. when the main dish of the day, homebaked beans, appeared on the scene. A11 the white beans used in the food preparation were donated by the Ontario Bean Producer's Marketing Board, Cook's Division of Gerbro Corp., W.G. Thompson and Sons Ltd., and the Hensall District Co -Operative. Throughout the afternoon continuous entertainment was provided for the visitors at the Zurich Arena. This part of the program was moved indoors due to the wet cool weather, The rain failed, however, to wash out the Canadian doubles Horseshoe Champion- ship play at the local park, as the entire program was completed. Festival day closed with a big dance in the arena, and the largest crowd to date attended this part of the show. Two bands, The Molly McGuires and the Harbour- lites, provided the music. The evening program was sponsored by the Zurich -Minor Athletic Associat- iot,. While the rain finally did catch up to the Bean Festival Day in Zurich on it's 10th anniversary, the results have not discouraged officials and they are already talking about plans for next year's event, which will again be held on the. fourth Saturday in August. Accordiag to food special- ists from the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agric- ulture and Food, there will be an abundant supply of Ontario grapes this year and they will appear in markets a little earlier than you might exp- ect. Be sure to include Ont- ario blue grapes in your pur- chases. The season for grapes this year will extend from the first week of September to the end of September. That should give you plenty of time to preserve them in whatever way best, suits you. Freeze them whole, make them into pies, jams or jellies, squeeze them into juice, or make your own wine. Ontario blue grapes are versatile and del- icious. Look for the blue grapes in baskets. They are usually packed in 2,4 or 6 -quart baskets. Wine makers can get them in bushel baskets from markets in the Niagara area. ?ft-A*0w._ REDIMIX CONCRETE LALSOFORMWORK) cCann Const.
