Preparations are well underway
for the 10th annual Canadian
International Farm Equipment
Show, Canada's foremost agri-
business showcase.
As Canada's largest indoor farm
equipment show - the theme for the
upcoming show in 1996 is
appropriately "Growing Together
for 10 Years".
More than 50,000 qualified
agricultural buyers are expected to
attend the upcoming show to
commemorate the show's 10 year
milestone. The CIFES gives
commercial farmers the yearly
opportunity to see the newest
technology available for the
upcoming growing season.
"The majority of exhibitors from
the 1995 show have already signed
Student Travel Schools is
looking for volunteer families to
host 10 students from Australia and
New Zealand. The students, ages
15 to 18, will be sharing their lives
with Canadian families while
attending local high schools for
five or 12 months beginning this
January.
Being a host family means
opening up your home and way of
life to a teenager from another
country just waiting for the chance
to live and learn with a Canadian
family. Host families provide
meals, accommodation, supervision
and care during a student's visit. All
of the students are fully insured and
are responsible for their own
spending money and clothing
allowance.
"Hosting is especially beneficial
in opening the eyes of children you
may have at home to the world
beyond their own backyard. It can
reinforce their interest in other
countries and cultures", said Julia
Lubczynski, who heads up the STS
office in Canada.
The Belgrave Kinsmen will
develop the site as a park.
Fall is here again and with it
comes the 47th Annual Fowl
Supper. The supper originated in
1949 and each year over 1,000
people sit down together at one
time for a traditional hot turkey
supper.
The whole community
contributes time and food to make
this supper a huge success.
Last year was another great year
realizing a profit of just over
$5,900.
The proceeds go towards the
operating costs of the Belgrave
Arena and Park and sponsor minor
sports throughout the year.
Without the fowl supper these
areas might cease.
Tickets are available at the local
stores. It is held at the Belgrave
Community Centre Wednesday,
Oct. 4, 7 p.m.
up for space, many of whom have
supported the show since the
beginning in 1986" said Show
Manager Lesley Nicholson. "We
anticipate the show will be sold out
within the next few weeks," she
added.
New exhibitors wishing to
participate in the 1996 show are
encouraged to contact show
management soon, since available
space is extremely limited.
Exhibitors planning to launch .a
new product or service should take
advantage of this excellent
marketing opportunity.
The 1996 Canadian International
Farm Equipment Show will be held
from Feb. 6 to 9 at the International
Centre, 6900 Airport Road,
Toronto.
The students participating in the
program chose Canada for its
friendly people and beautiful
natural areas. The students will be
arriving in mid January and
returning home at the end of
December.
Lubczynski said an effort is made
to match students and host families
with similar interests. "Each
student is very different, and we
spend a lot of time trying to match
students and families with similar
interests" said Lubczynski.

BBA members
hear about
agri-tourism
Can Huron County's number one
industry, agriculture, combine with
its number' two industry, tourism, to
create more economic activity in
Blyth and area? Those attending
the Blyth Business Association's
(BBA) Fall Dinner on Oct. 16 will
find out.
Kelly Nicholson, co-ordinator of
the agri-tourism program in Perth
County will speak at the meeting.
Operated with the support of
Tourism Stratford and local agri-
cultural groups, Perth Agri-
Tourism promotes and arranges
tours of participating county farms
by bus tours and individual fami-
lies. In its second year the program
has arranged 18 motorcoach tours
of farms. Each tour participant pays
$5 per farm, half of which goes to
the farm operator and half to Perth
Agri-tourism.
The program has several goals: to
keep tourists in the area longer so
they spend more money in Perth
County, and to help give non-farm
people a greater understanding of
modern agriculture.
Anyone, whether a member of
the BBA or a non-member, is wel-
come to attend this meeting. Tick-
ets are $12 for members, $14 for
non-members and are available at
The Citizen or Carol's Candies.

more physically active than girls of
the same age.
