The standard size of one of these quilts is eight feet long and they have been called "rural eye candy".

Snobelen Farms donates to hospital Snobelen Farms has made a $50,000 donation to support the major redevelopment of the Wingham & District Hospital. Snobelen Farms has grain elevators throughout the Wingham & District Hospital's service area including their head office in Lucknow where President Troy Snobelen met with members of the WDH Foundation to present the donation. "The company has been part of this community since the 1970s and it's important to us to support local healthcare for all our staff and clients who live here," Snobelen said. WDH Foundation Chair Ian Montgomery accepted the donation on Aug. 29 saying "as a member of the Lucknow community myself it has been great to see so much support from the town for the Hospital project." The WDH Foundation is grateful to Snobelen Farms and all the local corporations that have pledged donations to this project. The Wingham & District Hospital is currently undergoing the first stages of a $17 million redevelopment. With less than $6 million of that cost coming from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Letter to the Editor Seaforth Fall Fair set for Sept. 15-17 THE EDITOR, Greetings from the 2015-2016 Seaforth Fall Fair Ambassador! As most of you know, fair season is in full swing and soon it will be time to come out and enjoy the 171st Seaforth Fall Fair. The Seaforth Fair has lots to offer everyone and is a great family event. The theme for this year's fair is, "Sow it, Grow it and Show it". This year the favourites return, including the livestock exhibits, home craft exhibits, the 4-H championship show, fun zone for kids and live entertainment. Make sure to check out the Fair Ambassador and Junior Ambassador competitions, educational displays, penny sale, silent auction, antique tractor show and much more. This year's fair takes place at the Seaforth Agriplex from Sept. 15-17 followed by the scales, tails, paws and claws show and sale on Sunday, Sept. 18. The opening of the fair will kick off with the crowning of the new Ambassador as well as the citizenship dinner and awards. For tickets please contact the office. The Seaforth Agricultural Society is a community organization that is run by volunteers dedicated to encouraging an awareness and appreciation of agriculture through events such as the Seaforth Fall Fair and supporting Huron County 4-H. Everything we do is achievable because of our volunteers. We hope you will join us, as a director, an organizer in any of our fair committees, or helper at one of our many events. Whether you're young or young at heart, from town or the country, have little experience or tons, looking to fulfill your high school community service hours, or retired with a few hours to spare, we'd love to see you get involved. I hope to see everyone out for a great time and supporting the Seaforth Agricultural Society Sept. 15-18 at the Agriplex! Maranda Klaver 2015-2016 Seaforth Fall Fair Ambassador.
