Year after year, visitors to the Super
Pull continue to say it is one of the best
in North America. T
he mix of community volunteerism,
incredible fan support and raw mechani-
cal might all add up to a one -of -a -kind
experience in Huron County.

TSN tour contest

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

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."
