Plans for the Huron County
Plowing Match are being made. This
annual event is held in a different
part of the county each year and will
take place at warden Bill and Joyce
Dowson and family farms in the
Municipality of Bluewater on Aug.
27. It is one of the few events that
involve the entire county.
Men and women will plow in
various categories - for instance -
antiques and late-model tractors and
plows, horse plowing with both
walking and sulky (riding) plows
and competition plows. Added
interest are novelty and group
plowing classes.
Many local plowmen have gone
on to the International to compete for
thousands of dollars- in post-
secondary education
scholarships.
There will be wonderful
displays of antique tractors,
crafts, and items for sale. People
can have a ride on a wagon to see
the plowing, then attend a
barbecue at 5 p.m.
The Huron County Plowing
Match promotes agriculture and
land conservation. To help
promote these throughout the
year, a Queen of the Furrow
competition is held at the local
match. It is open to young
women between the ages of 16
and 24. The competition gives
young Htiron County women the
opportunity to interact with
people of all walks of life. They
go on to establish lasting
friendships across the province,
become more proficient in
public speaking and develop
excellent social skills.
The winner of this year's
Queen of the Furrow
competition will go on to
compete in - next year s
International Match, which will
be held in Perth County near
Listowel. The successful young
woman at the IPM will win the
use of a brand new car for one
year during her reign as
Grade 3 piano exam and who did
well in their Grade 1 theory. The
pupils were Sara Baker, Kayla
Stewart and Matthew Cardiff.
Dorothy Dilworth and Edna
McLellan hosted the Friday night
card part in Cranbrook.
The share-the-wealth winners
were Adrian Verstoep and Eluned
McNair. The travelling lone hand
recently returned from an Alaskan
land and sea vacation. They learned
gold panning techniques and
experienced the forest fire smoke at
Dawson City. They saw fires
burning as they journeyed to
Fairbanks.
While on a riverboat cruise at
Fairbanks, they saw Susan Butcher,
four times Ididorod champion, train
her dogs with a four-wheeler. They
also saw black bear, moose, stone
sheep and caribou along the route to
Denali National Park and
Anchorage. The white-stretch limo
took them to Whittier where the ship
the Carnival Spirit waited.
The seven-day trip along the
Inside Passage was quite an
experience. They viewed fjords,
glacier gardens, humpback and killer
whales as well as seals. At the stop in
Juneau there was a thunderstorm
which is a rare experience for the
residents.
At Skagway they took the White
Pass and Yukon Railroad to the top
Ontario's Queen of the Furrow.
An added feature this year is the
Princess Competition for young
women ages 12 - 15. They will
compete on Junior Day Aug. 26 in
conjunction with the Huron County
4-H Sodbusters Club achievement
day. This will be an exciting event
too.
Kora Bennett, the Queen of the
Furrow chosen at the 2003 Huron
Match has attended events such as
parades, fairs, and Slice of Huron.
She will address Huron County
council too.
The young woman chosen on Aug.
27 will be an ambassador for Huron
County.
was won by Shirley Verstoep. The
high score for ladies went to Leota
Thompson and for men Adrian
Verstoep. Eluned McNair, Verna
Crawford, Jeanne Ireland and Keith
Turnbull were the lone hand
winners.
Tally card winners were Neil Hatt,
Myrna Burnett, Allan Edgar, Eleanor
Stevenson, Mary Huether, Dorothy
of the mountain into Yukon. It was a
spectacular trip. They saw the
lumberjack show at Ketchikan.
As they neared Vancouver
harbour, they experienced the beauty
of the sun shining on the mountains
and water and realized their Alaskan
experience had come to an end.
The end of July marked the end of
Country Patchworks-at least around
here. Rosemary Terpstra decided
that it was time for a change of pace
and sold the fabric end of the
. business to Deb Eddy from north of
Woodstock. This will mean a little
longer drive for area fabric shoppers.
The custom quilting end of the
business was also sold but is staying
closer to home, in fact very close to
my home, since I am the one who
purchased it. I hope that all former
customers of Country Patchworks
will continue to bring their quilting
projects to me at Country Quilting,
and of course new customers are
always welcome.
There was a new beginning of
another sort on Aug. 1. That is when
Grant and Pam Martin welcomed
son number three into their family.
The new wee lad's name is Adam.
Congratulations to the Martins on
the new family member.
The Ethel euchre was held on
Monday, Aug. 2 with 13 tables in
