Local Huron family writes song for
International Plowing Match 2017
Sherry McCall and her
family have been supporters
of the International Plowing
Match and Rural Expo (IPM)
for many decades and the
talent for song writing has
been in her family for
generations.
It was then only natural
that Sherry started to investi-
gate in the Spring of 2016 if
there was a song written in
honour of the IPM.
A quick investigation
uncovered that there had yet
to be a song written.
The idea percolated in the
back of Sherry's mind for a
few more weeks and suffer-
ing from jet lag after return-
ing from a vacation in
Europe the first lyric came to
mind.
"It all started with `We're
plowing it down, we're work-
ing it up'" says Sherry, "Once
I had that line it all started
coming from there. I kept
thinking about what does
the IPM offer and started
thinking about words that
rhymed. I did not share it
with Jacquie [Bishop, Chair
of IPM 2017], right away. I
shared the song with a few
ladies who understood the
IPM as much as I did and
they encouraged me to share
Sherry enlisted the local
production company, Faux -
pop Media, to record the
song and produce the music
video.
In the music video and
singing the song are Amanda
McClure, Isaiah Sills, and
Jack Storey.
Huron County born and
raised, each singer is of a
different generation - pay-
ing tribute that the IPM is
an event for all to attend.
Sherry credits the Sill's
Family for helping her
tweak the tempo and offer
ideas on musicality to make
the song stronger.
Sherry concluded
saying,"My hope is that the
song is used as a tool to
explain what the IPM is all
about and will get people
excited about the 100th IPM
being hosted here at home
in September"
