CornRoast2014

Our Corn Roast at Heritage Acres would not be the same without the ongoing contribution made by the Vancouver Island Model Engineers. This group of dedicated model train enthusiasts has built up, over the past few years, an incredible showcase for their amazing model trains. Their beautiful brick roundhouse to house their precious models; several miles of track, bridges and a tunnel, realistic signposts, etc. -- are all a testament to the hard-work and commitment of their members.

Our members and their families always appreciate having the trains running for our Corn Roast -- thank you, Model Engineers!

	Perfect weather brought out a great attendance at this year's Annual Corn Roast. The Victoria Chapter had invited the 15th Annual Island Challenge participants to come and join us for this fun early Fall event -- and many of them took up our offer. Through the efforts of the dedicated volunteers who made this year's Swap Meet so successful -- free admission to the Corn Roast was again offered to everyone, including free food (corn-on-the-cob, hot dogs and ice cream).
Dave & Judy Wallace, along with capable volunteers (Jane Thomas, Linda Wood and Karen Hilder) served up a flavourful lunch. Dave Hopkins of Heritage Acres was in charge of steaming the corn, as usual -- this is a very interesting process. If you haven't paid much attention to it in the past, perhaps next year you should take a few minutes and stop by and chat with Dave about his steam machine!!

As usual, if it were not for the energy and passion of our volunteers, this event would never happen. A huge thank you to all those involved.
