Huron Expositor, 2007-07-25, Page 2Poge 2 The Huron Expositor • July 25, 2007 News Agreement signed Saturday to bring Canadian Professional Golf Tour to Seaforth in 2008 From Page 1 date will be sometime in August, the actual date will be determined sometime during the next three weeks. The Canadian tour would bring 144 professional golfers from a dozen different countries around the world to Seaforth. The Canadian tour is the "third tier" of professional golf below the PGA (Professional Golf Association) Tour and the Nationwide Tour so many of the golfers could be golfing the PGA in five years. Carolanne Doig says she and Maureen Agar are now concentrating on getting spectator tickets printed so they can begin selling them by Aug. 18 when a dance will be held at the Seaforth Golf Club to launch the year leading up to the Canadian tour coming to town. "The $20 tickets will help us raise the seed money we need until we can get some more corporate sponsors," said Doig. • While only one corporate sponsor has been found so far, along with a number of local businesses who are committing products and services for the tour, Doig said she's expecting the signing of the agreement over the weekend will help recruit sponsors. "Just being able to say it's definitely a go will really help," she said, adding that a couple of Perth County businesspeople had such a good time at the skins game on Friday that they are taking the idea back to their companies to become sponsors. -�,��day�4�g�sfpeh�h l prIn Teacher owned and r 'i, Closer to home so you save on qas!

Councillor wants to enlist art students to touch up mural The mural on the wall of the TD - Canada Trust building has to be repainted or removed, Clerk - Administrator Jack McLachlan told council at its July 17 meeting. McLachlan said the mural was bought by the municipality from the Huron County Plowmen's Association after the International Plowing Match was held in Huron County and it now needs work. He called the artist who painted the mural but found he was going through cancer treatments "so I didn't want to bug him," he said. McKillop Coun. Bill Siemon sug- gested that art students could be enlisted to repair the mural. "There are a lot of good artists out there and I think there's students out there who could do a lot of jus- tice to that," he said.
