AgricultureBrussels Livestock reportThursday’s veal sells on steady marketPAGE 14. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2008.
At their April 15 meeting,
Morris-Turnberry councillors heard
a request for a donation to help the
committee hosting the 2008
International Plowing Match (IPM)
at Teeswater.
Don and Liz Stobo from the 2008
organizing committee told
councillors that where once a county
sought an IPM as a way to raise
money for their community, today
the committee must raise money in
order to put on the big outdoor show.
The match will be held on farms on
the north and east edges of
Teeswater Sept. 16-20.
“We have to raise $1.5 million to
put on the match,” said Don Stobo.
“So far we have raised $1.2 million.”
Liz Stobo said that neighbouring
municipalities (Morris-Turnberry is
the nearest Huron County
municipality) have been supporting
the committee in gifts of either
money or “in kind” services. North
Huron, for instance, will provide
treatment for sewage.
It’s also possible to support a
portion of the event that a council
has a particular connection with,
said Don Stobo.
Liz Stobo pointed out the
education program which expects to
attract 16,000 students during the
week of the match.
The Stobos said they did not
expect an immediate decision from
council. While greeting the couple
enthusiastically, councillors said
they would discuss the possibility of
support at a later date.
