IPM 2017 searching for 1,000 volunteers in Sept. ICOM INTERNATIONAL P1O l Rt ti[R & RiI 1 EXPO SEPT 19.23. WALTON, (INTRO —or 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. For additional information, e-mail Mary Garriock and Lori Vanstone, IPM 2017 volunteer co-chairs at ipm 2017 volunteers @gmail.com Grey 4-H Pizza Lovers experiment with PB&J ,pizza (limo& 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!
