From page 23 Further, Harding notes REACH is hoping to host an Ontario Harness Association and Special Abilities Riding Institute youth camps this summer. While REACH was hoping for significant infrastructure funding through the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (MID, only Rural Economic Development (RED ) fund- ing came through. Still, a number of community partners have come on board, including the Clinton Raceway with $750,000, the County of Huron with $500,000 and $375,000 thanks to a spe- cial one-time provincial infrastructure funding in 2007. Though everything is a go, there is much fund- raising to be done • One step in that direction, says Harding, is to bring on a consultant that will help 1 asij sr/ Z r O N 1 the municipality roll out fund-raising drives in the next six weeks. One event, an art -and -book auction fund-raiser, is already on tap for the Can -Am Equine Emporium Show at the London Agriplex on March 21. Though a fund-raising goal has not been set, Harding confirms a "sig- nificant" amount is requi d. Construction on the REACH site, located at • the former St. Joseph's .. Catholic school site next to the Clinton Racetrack Slots, is expected to be completed by spring. REACH's grand open- ing is scheduled for Sept. 11, with a full slate of cel- ebratory activities on Sept. 12. "Stay , tuned," urges Harding. • See'more information about REACH, including updates and a list of fund- raisers, at www.reach- huron.ca QI'J SALE N ! up ,to SO% suiQFat Es Largest Dealer In the Area tit wn and Garden Equlpni.nt *Push Mowers •Itactors •Snowblowers •mlers • • K1)1,#) ta, Diesel Eines Large selection of Generators Gas, Propane, Diesel - to meet every need from 2500 watts to 600,000 watts 00i1 %,r!14 0 all *• 0 WALLENSTEIN Equipment f :•o�spIItters •Wood Chippers *Pressure Washers *Winches t fEcuMsEH VANGUARD Engines HONDA immnammiliem ENGINES Aumoelo.a home sunder generators, dealer and warmM dept.
