Agricultural Society cancels fall fair,
members busy for Plowing Match
EXETER — The Exeter
Agricultural Society is
taking on a new flavour
as it becomes an ingredi-
ent in many community
events this year.
Ag Society members are
involved in the
International Plowing
Match held Sept. 21-25
near Dashwood making it
difficult to hold a full fall
fair on the traditional
date.
"Many society directors
are on planning commit-
tees for that event and
would make it difficult to
orgnize both the IPM
and aa fair that would fall
on the Match's closing
weekend," Ag Society
President Bev Prout said.
"In addition, it is hoped
the surrounding commu-
nities will put their ener-
gies into the IPM activities
which has only been in
Huron County four times
in its existence."
Only the Arabian Horse
Show will culminate on
the traditional fair date of
Sept. 25, said Prout.
The organization will
still encourage an aware-
ness of agriculture and
promote improvements in
life skills -and quality of
life of people living in the
agricultural community.
Society members will be
involved in many commu-
nity events throughout
the year.
"Associates of the Ag
Society are knee-deep in
the planning stages of the
IPM Quilt Show, taking
place at the South Huron
