What IS That? In the September-October Magazine’s Contest...
The item in the September/October Yadkin Valley Magazine’s What Is That? is a corn shucker. Lots of folks actually admitted they had used one and that it saved their hands from being cut by the hard, dry husks. Thank goodness we don’t have to use them today…sounds like work!
Wanda Haynes was our first correct drawn and is the winner of $100. She knew immediately the item was a corn shucker because she and her husband had used them and they actually had one on their shelf along with the original “What Is That” article in Yadkin Valley Magazine!
Martin Bullard sent a lot of facts about the design of the shucker. It was preferably whittled from dogwood. The leather strap was installed to keep over a finger and that’s how the shucker kept in the hand. Virginia Pardue recalls, "My grandfather carried one of these in his overall pocket at this time of year. Some of the best memories were made around a pile of corn. I was blessed greatly by the love of my grandparents and the things I was taught by them."
Both Virginia and Martin will receive a One Last Sweet Bite cookbook for their correct guesses.
We sincerely appreciate all of you who take the time to enter and for telling us your “stories” about the What is That items.
Wishing you safe travels... and a very Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
