In just 24 minutes, Kitchener caterers served a prime rib dinner to 1,174 people who, in some way, were involved with the IPM. John Fennel of the Ontario Plowmen's Association (OPA) said this year's match was one of the best in years. "If attendance figures mean anything, it would indicate we must be doing many things right," said Stewart Lockhardt, OPA president. The head table was filled with such prominent people as Murray Elston, Bruce MP, Nellie Johnson, the mayor of tented city, Queen's of the Furrow, Lord and Lady Elgin of Scotland and Jack Cumming, IPM chairperson, who received a standing ovation and great applause from the crowd. "Jack Cumming has been known as Mr. IPM. He has eaten and slept IPM for the last two years," said Murray Gaunt, master of ceremonies. Cumming said the success of the IPM has been a community effort. "We're just so please with the whole proceedings. Working with the people...it's been the highlight of my life. It's the Bruce County spirit and there is no other' way to describe it. Bruce has beckoned and everyone has responded," said Cumming. Cumming.said the future of the IPM looks strong. Lord and Lady Elgin were presented with a framed Bruce Beckons poster and a Bruce County plate. When accepting the gifts, Lord Elgin. said Bruce County has been in existence for 162 years and its name is over 1,000 years old. After seeing some sober -looking faces in the crowd, Lord Elgin thought he'd help get all in the mood by singing a Scottish song. The first verse required the crowd to stand and toast their neighbours, the second verse had most of the crowd standing on their chairs and the third on the dinner table. The song quickly lifted spirits. Chairpersons for the 1994 and 1995 IPM to be held in Renfrew County and Waterloo were present at the awards banquet. Renfrew's IPM chair, Fred Blackstein said he wants to work out a contract with Nellie Johnston since Cumming said she was in charge of the good weather. He also showed a fondness for Cumming. "WhenI grow up, I want to be just like Jack," said Blackstein. The banquet continued with the awards presentation.
