At the 1968 show you will see the vintage equipment,
the championship pony chuckwagon races, the pony chariot
races, the precision riding of the Nipawin 4-H Light
Horse Club, a three-ring circus, a midway, setting up
exercises (getting gas and steam engines lined up for
threshing display), the Blue Garter Saloon with its
dancing girls and musical entertainment, Indian tribal
dances, ploughing and log-sawing demonstrations.

It's a show of a character you can see nowhere else.

Could anyone want higher praise for a cook book than
its praise by Pion-Era Pete, whose lanky frame needs
robust and succulent meals and snacks and drinks?

Really there are enough recipes in this book to suit
the tastes of hundreds. Many women and some men have
contributed, and the ethnic recipes are of wide range.
We are prone to believe that coffee breaks are modern;
they are, under the name, but the cook book describes
Harvest Cakes, that were sent out, hot from the oven,

‘ for mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks for the harvest

workers.

When it comes to preserves there is even a recipe for
preserving husbands and one for preserving wives.

There's a very old recipe, Cornish Punch, in the
beverage section of Cook Book No. 2. Along with lemon
juice, lemon rind and sugar are rum, brandy and bened-
ictine. Then the recipe calls for filling up the mixture
with boiling water, POURED FROM A HEIGHT. If pouring from
a height adds to potency, one must use judgment as to
what height or run the risk of being laid low. This tip
rice of the cook book.
