Irish farmers tour Ontario They visited friends in the Centralia area, By Mary Peterson Centralia correspondent CtNTRALIA - During the past week, Mary Peterson and Rob Es- sery have hosted some friends from the Republic of Ireland, Mairead and David French. Mairead first visited the area in 1993 on an ex- change between two agricultural or- ganizations for youth, Macra Na Merme in Ireland and the Ontario Junior Farmers Association. In 1994, Mary and Rob enjoyed a brief visit with Mairead and David in Ireland. Mairead and David live on a dairy farm in the county of Wex- ford. They arrived in Ontario Sep- tember 10 and enjoyed an agricul- tural bus tour with a group of 53 other Irish farmers. Highlights of this tour included visits to some outstanding dairy farms, a trip to Niagara Falls, and spending time in Ottawa and Montreal. Following the tour, Mairead and David rented a car and drove to Centralia. During their visit with Mary and Rob, Mairead and David have en- joyed visiting with many people and seeing a variety of places.They caught up with friends in Stratford and Glencoe, and had an opportuni- ty to view some of the local sights both by car and from the air. They picked one of the sunny days dur- ing their visit to attend the interna- tional Plowing Match near Selkirk in Haldimand-Norfolk for an over- all picture of Ontario agriculture. On Saturday, they visited the Exet- er Fall Fair, and especially enjoyed the parade. Mairead and David also attended the annual convention of Ontario Flying Farmers which was held in Chatham at the Wheels Inn. Con- ference participants included mem- bers of International Flying Farm- ers from as far away as Michigan, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Eve- ryone offered them a warm wel- come to this part of the country, and invited them to the 1997 annu- al convention' which will be held at Grand 'Bend. On ;September 24, Mairead and David returned to Ireland, knowing that the next day they would be backlit work and have little time to recover from jet lag. They thor- oughbi enjoyed their visit, and hope to be able to plan a future va- catioa to the Centralia area.
