Procters meet Mickey as local showmen sweep Royal
Once again Huron County’s swine
breeders and junior swine showmen
have proved that they are made of
the right stuff by capturing virtually
all of the championships at the Royal
Winter Fair’s Market Hog Classic
and at the Junior Barrow Show, both
held last Friday afternoon.
But the highlight of the event was
held on the red carpet in the Royal’s
horse show ring at the Coliseum
during the Official Opening Cere
monies that evening, when George
Farm
Taking a nasty spill, a New Life Mills Ltd. hopper truck from Hanover slipped off the edge of a farm lane
just north of Blyth last week, overturning and spewing its full load of corn across a plowed field. Nobody
was hurt in the Incident, but a second hopper had to be called in to offload the downed truck, as well as two
huge tow trucks to help get it on its wheels again.
