Field Figure Skating championship to be h : Id in 2010
To the Editor,
The Seaforth Lions Club will be
holding a news conference at the
Seaforth Lions Park later today to
announce the First Annual Interna-
tional .Field Figure Sksating Champi-
onship to be held in Seaforth on Feb.
14, 2010.1
The hometown of World Champion
figure skater ,Lloyd Eisler is the per-
fect venue for this event.
The first step in planning this cham-
pionship will be to dam Silver Creek.
Once Silver Creek is dammed, we
will flood the ball diamond. Events
will be held on the infield, left field,
centre field, corn field and way out in
..right field.
My committee of one did a very
thorough case studyfor this event
and it will compliment the other two
international events already held in
Seaforth in August each- year: the
world class Walton Motocross and
Come Home to the County CPGA
Golf Classic.
The community is solidly behind
this event. Hugh Bracken, of Brack's
Blades, Scissor and Hoe Sharpening
has offered to sharpen all skates for
free and provide his famous 30/30
warranty - 30 uses or 30 seconds.
Rob Robb, local localvor and G AS-
tronome will be providing samples of
his famous .Huron County bean soup.
(No open -flames please.) R.W. Fisher,
local CNIB client has agreed to judge
this event.
Regular updates regarding this
international event will be posted
on the Seaforth Lions Club website
www.seaforthlionsclub.c/dam. '
Happy April Fool's Day. - -
Sincerely,
Herb McGowan.
