And the winning number is...
Vince Judge calls off the winning numbers for raffle winners prior to the beginning of the
annual Maitland Conservation Foundation’s auction. While the tally was not complete at
press time, MVCA staffer Jayne Thompson haled the event as a huge success. Attendance
was the largest ever with 292 tickets sold. Over 200 special raffle tickets were purchased,
which was again an increase over previous years. Thompson says that looking at the values
of the items auctioned, as well as the tremendous support shown, she thinks the 1997 event
could be a record-setting year.

GRADE 4 HAPPENINGS
Mr. Livermore's Grade 4 class
has just finished its unit on Huron
County. Students are busy doing
their projects on various topics of
the county. Some have chosen
towns such as Clinton, Goderich
and Wingham, as topics while
others have chosen the villages of
Londesboro, Auburn, Hensall and
Blyth. A few have selected specific
agricultural and industrial areas
such as sheep farming, dairy
farming, salt mining and Dominion
Roads.
The class had a chance to visit
Drost's farm just before the March

hearing all about a day in the life of
a sheep farmer.
