IPM 2017 searching for 1,000 volunteers in Sept.

100th INTERNATIONAL
Li PLOWING PATCH & RURAL EXPO
SEPT 19-23 • WALTON, ONTARIO
Not for the season
The Ryan family's Walton -area farm will look a lot different seven months from now when it
plays host to the 2017 International Plowing Match, but over the weekend, it was a winter
wonderland thanks to 10 centimetres of snow that blanketed Huron County. Organizers of the
IPM are currently seeking volunteers and have introduced a new volunteer portal to help
community members through the process. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
Tens of thousands of people will
soon descend into Walton, as the
International Plowing Match and
Rural Expo (IPM) hosts its 100th
match, Sept. 19 — 23, 2017.
Volunteers have been organizing
this event for four years; organizing
the infrastructure to welcome
exhibitors and visitors to tented city,
booking entertainment acts and
organizing an educational program
for school children, to name a few of
the many activities.
Further still, IPM 2017 will need
the support of 1,000 volunteers in
the month of September to help
ensure a successful event.
"There are many volunteers
needed to run an IPM because we
want to be able to reinvest all the
monies made back into our local
community and community groups"
says Mary Garriock, Co -Chair of
Volunteers. "You can volunteer as a
group or volunteer as an individual
on behalf of a community
organization. We will be tracking the
number of people working and
the number of hours worked,
and if IPM 2017 generates a
profit, we will redistribute a portion
of those dollars back to the
community groups that helped us
during the match. It's a win-win for
everyone!"
There are many different
opportunities and activities for
which one can volunteer, no matter
the age or ability. Before the match
begins there are opportunities to get
the site ready, directing exhibitors to
their locations and landscaping the
activity tents. When the match is
open, volunteers are needed to direct
traffic and help people to park, drive
tractors, meet and greet at the gate,
receive tickets, share knowledge at
the information booths and make
lunches for the plow competitors,
just to name a few.
Volunteers can sign up online by
going to plowingmatch.org/
volunteer-ipm-2017 or by attending
one of the IPM 2017 lead -up events
throughout Huron County at the
Seaforth Library on Thursday, Feb.
16 from 6 - 8 p.m., or Bayfield
Arena on Sunday, March 5 from
1 - 3 p.m. or at REACH Huron,
Clinton on Sunday, April 2 from
10 a.m. — 5 p.m.

Grey 4-H Pizza Lovers experiment with PB&J ,pizza

V1114 k
A team effort
The Grey 4-H Pizza Lovers held their second meeting and experimented with some unusual
pies, including one featuring peanut butter and jelly. (Photo submitted)
By Katrina Gubelmann
Peanut butter and jelly - imagine
that on a pizza! That's the recipe that
the 4-H members tried last Friday
night. Members split into two
groups, one group made a pizza with
crunchy peanut butter and red
currant jelly, and the other group
made a pizza with smooth peanut
butter and strawberry jam.
While those pizzas were baking,
members ate a delicious crockpot
pizza made ahead by Leader
Monique Baan. It used a regular
pizza crust pressed into a large crock
pot, topped as usual and cooked on
low for about two hours.
Leader Jolande Oudshoorn had
members practise judging and they
reviewed the proper way to give
BUY? SELL?
TRY CLASSIFIED
reasons. They then judged a class of
frozen pizzas by reading the
nutrition facts. Afterwards, the club
tried the peanut butter and jelly
pizzas. What an interesting meeting!
