Looking to Volunteer
at IPM 2017?
There are
many different
opportunities
for all ages and'
abilities.
Tens of thousands of people
will soon descend in Walton,
Ont. as the International Plow-
ing Match and Rural Expo (IPM)
hosts its 100th Match, Septem-
ber 19-23 2017.
Volunteers have been organ-
izing this event for four years;
organizing the infrastructure to
welcome exhibitors and visitors
to Tented City, booking enter
tainment acts, and organizing
an educational program for
school children, to name a few
of the many activities. Further
still, IPM 2017 will need the sup-
port of 1000 volunteers in the
month of September to help
ensure a successful event.
"There are many volunteers
needed to run an IPM because we
want to be able to reinvest all the
monies made back into our local
community and community
groups" says Mary Garriock, Co -
Chair of Volunteers. "You can vol-
unteer as a group or volunteer as
an individual on behalf of a com-
munity organization. We will be
tracking the number of people
worked and the number of hours
worked, and if IPM 2017 gener-
ates a profit, we will redistribute a
portion of those dollars back to
the community groups that
helped us during the Match. It's a
win-win for everyone!"
There are many different
opportunities and activities that
one can help volunteer with no
matter the age or ability. Before
the Match begins there are
opportunities to get the site
ready, directing exhibitors to
their locations and landscaping
the activity tents. When the
Match is open, volunteers are
needed to direct traffic and help
people to park, drive tractors,
meet and greet at the gate,
receive tickets, share knowledge
at the information booths, and
make lunches for the plow com-
petitors, just to name a few.
Volunteers can sign up online
by going to plowingmatch.org/
volunteer-ipm-2017 or by attend-
ing one of the IPM 2017 lead up
events throughout Huron County:
