the atmosphere of the event.
Two other things that will be
needed, the group said, will be water
and wood chips.
Water will be necessary by the
truckload, McGavin said, and the
group has already started collecting
wood chips from local projects in
the event that it rains during the
match.
The event will also make use of
local facilities. There will be two
banquets; the queen’s banquet and
the plowmen’s banquet, both of
which will have to be held at a larger
recreation facility like the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community Centre
or the Seaforth and District
Community Centre. Other local
facilities like the Walton
Community Hall will also be used
and potentially the municipality’s
public works shed in Winthrop for
storage.
McGavin also said that signage
has been a problem at previous
matches. He said he hoped that both
Huron East and Huron County
would be liberal in its allowances
of where organizers can put
signs directing visitors to the
match.
MacLellan said he hoped that
since the county had already
invested heavily in the match that it
would be generous with sign
placement.
MacLellan told the group to
prepare a list of services and
benefits they hoped to receive from
the municipality, in-kind or not, and
send it to municipal staff so Huron
East could get started on it.
Walton IPM begins to take shape as details emerge
Picturing the future
The 2017 International Plowing Match in Walton will feature
unprecedented community support and the volunteering of
a number of properties to play as host, in one way or
another, for the historic match, the 100th in history. Here, in
a map provided by Huron County GIS mapping and presented to
Huron East Council at its Jan. 6 meeting, the site begins to take
shape from Blyth Road (County Road 25) in the north to Hullett-
McKillop Road in the south. (Denny Scott photo)
