This year, the pull is also kicking off the Lucknow Strawberry Summerfest, and the Lucknow Kinsmen and Super Pull Committee have been putting in long hours to make sure 2009's pull will once again be an international fan favourite. The pull committee is looking for sponsors for this year's event, and any- one looking for more information or Dawson seeks support, stories for $25,000 TSN tour contest Gerard Crimes signal -star staff Could it be the TSN turning point for the Ag Park baseball diamonds? . Former Goderich Minor Baseball presi- dent Mike Dawson is certainly hoping so. Dawson submitted an entry for the Kraft/ TSN 10 in 10 Celebration Tour - which awards 10 communities across Canada $25,000 each for recreation upgrades in honour of The Sports Network's 25th an- niversary. The final 10 communities will be part of a cross-country TSN tour, and Dawson said Goderich exemplifies the community spirit the contest judges are looking for. "With all the different projects the com- munity has been involved in over the years, this would be an appropriate site for the cross-country tour," he said. "They are looking for a community involved in ac- tive living." In Dawson's letter, he noted the beach boardwalk, CPR bridge, numerous trails and the Mind and Body Campaign as ex- amples of Goderich's dedication to its ac- tive public, among others. He also mentioned the many events that continue to draw visitors from all over to Goderich, like the Celtic Roots 'Festival, Triathlon and Labour Day Fastball Tour- nament. "If it worked into• their (tour) schedule, it would be a good destination," he said. As compelling a case as Dawson pres- ents, he said there is still room for the community to have their say. "I didn't have room to include some of our excellent athletes in my letter," he said. "But we've got athletes in town that have had wonderful acheivements." Anyone who wants to read Dawson's letter or share their stories can do so by visting: http://kraftcelebrationtour.tsn.ca/ community/409. Comments will be ac- cepted until 5 p.m. Friday. If Goderich makes the short list, it wilt be one of 20 communities vying for 10 chances at $25,000. "In which case," said Dawson. "We'd be calling for everyone's support if that should happen."
