V 1700 Fair-Goers Visit 1847 Pioneer Cabin ! food news & cues 6 from the Quaker Test Kitchens During the 1969 McHenry County Fair, there were over 1,700 visitors to the pioneer log cabin located on the fair­ grounds. The log cabin was erected in 1847 by Luke Gan­ non and was donated to the Mc- Henyy County Historical soci­ ety by his grandson, Ed Gan­ non. Donations from McIIenry county school children and bus­ iness firms paid for its res­ toration, and in 1965 it was moved from its original location near Huntley to the fairgrounds. It is believed to be the oldest building used for a residence which is stijl in existence in the county. Each year the cabin is open to visitors to the fair, and this year there was a record number of visitors. They came from fifty-four Illinois cities outside of McHenry county, as well as from all over McHen­ ry county. There were visitors from thirteen states besides Illinois, and some from Co­ logne, Germany. Congressman McClory and Mrs. .McC lory were also among the visitors to this historic building. Con­ tributions from visitors and the money received from the sale of postcards picturing the log cabin, will be put into the building fund which the His­ torical society is accumulating for the purpose of building a museum to house the many his­ toric items which have been donated, and the Society wish­ es to thank all those who con­ tributed -to this fund during the fair. On display in the pioneer c^bin were two early Atlases Mr Hi Pi MMH. \ of the county which attracted much attention. Also, hanging in the cabin was a picture of a similar log cabin which was the residence of Valorous and Mary Gardiner Jones in Spring Grove at about the same time the Gannon log cabin was erect­ ed. The picture showed a window in the peak of the roof of the cabin like the one at the fairgrounds, and should help to prove to skeptics the au­ thenticity of this feature. Also displayed in the cabin was a home-made wooden bootjack, an Indian Tomahawk, wooden bowls, iron cooking kettles, a kerosene lamp, a cowbell, and, a pair of wooden skates. There was also a certificate of an award issued to Charles Ab­ bott of Woodstock, for a prize animal he showed at the 1905 McHenry County Fair. Mrs. Ada Walkup, Mrs. El­ eanor Howe, Fred Crichton and Peter Nelson of Crystal Lake, and Everett Thomas, Mrs. Dor­ othy McEachren, Mrs. Audrey Walgenbach, the Misses Alice and Leta Clark and Edith Bohn were the volunteers' from the Historical society who showed the log cabin and explained the historic items to the visitors. Due to their efforts it was pos­ sible to have the cabin open during the entire fair time. Sailors' Snack: Cereal Boats Puffed rice candy makes appealing placecards and favors for a child's party.

Heat puffed rice in shallow baking pan in preheated moder­ ate oven (350°F.) about 10 minutes. Pour into greased large bowl. Melt butter and marshmallows in top of double boiler over boiling water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Stir in vanilla and food coloring. Pour over puffed rice, stirring until evenly coated. With greased hands, quickly shape mixture to form eight 4-1/2-inch long sailboats, using about 1 cup mixture for each. Make an oblong cavity down the center of each boat, by build­ ing up sides and ends. Firmly pack the bottom of each cavity. Insert a stick into the end of each boat for a "mast." Print name on each paper "sail"; glue a "sail" to each "mast." Let boats stand at least 30 minutes or until set. Fill with candy and nuts. PICNIC BEETLES Picnic beetles are becoming numerous at the present time. These black beetles with four yellow spots are attracted to food odors and decaying or overripe fruit and vegetables. They are commonly found around garbage cans and on window screens. For control in home yards, harvest fruits and vegetables before they become overripe. Dispose of any spoiled produce. To kill the adult beetles, use 3 teaspoons of malathion, dia- zinon, or carbaryl (Sevin) per gallon of water and spray in and around garbage cans. Spraying shrubbery and tall grass with the same insecti­ cides before a cookout will greatly reduce the number of these beetles. Follow directions on the label.
