One of my first jobs, after I graduated from University, was as a Food Inspector for Health and Welfare Canada and, from time to time, I found myself inspecting some pretty old flour mills so seeing this one was pretty interesting. The Bellamy Mill had three operational stones when in full production. Each set of stones would consist of a stationary stone and a runner stone. The initial product straight from the stones might pass as stone-ground whole wheat flour as it would contain white flour as well as midlings and bran whereas the fine white flour would require further processing.
The miller at Upper Canada Village was certainly getting plenty of questions while we were there and seemed to be enjoying discussion of the process will all of the visitors.
How could I resist such an offer? With FREE ticket in hand and unable to locate the other members of our party, I headed over to the Tavern to enjoy the show and passed by another entertainer along the way. I never really understood the story line but there was a bit of singing, a bit of dancing, a bit of sleep walking and a couple of assistants from the audience.
Over all, a fun time was happening on stage and the audience seemed to enjoy it and added the appropriate numbers of OOHs!
