36 THE RURAL VOICE
Hundreds of acres have been set
aside for ploughing competitions
(as seen at the 1998 match).
host the IPM. Only one family is
chosen each year."
Even before he officially agreed to
be a candidate, Becker talked to his
neighbours.
"They are very important," he
said.
With other districts in Huron
County competing with Becker and
the Dashwood group for the honour
to host the plowing match it was not
until months later that he heard the
news.
The announcement came just
before the Huron County
Plowing Match in Dungannon,
in August, 1995. After lengthy
discussions by the association's
executive, Becker's site was chosen
as Huron County's candidate for the
IPM. The family was called at 11:45
p.m. on August 23.
However, work still had to be
done as the Huron location had to be
selected for the 1999 match over any
other counties seeking to host the
event. The job of winning the IPM
was made easier when no other
counties stepped forward.
Once the final decision was made,
Becker says he began to realize the
challenge, the thrill and the great
opportunity for both his community
and Huron County to show the rest of
the province and visitors from abroad
what the region has to offer.
Always willing to point out the
dozens of people who have helped
