They are doing everything

The fund-raising event for
the new tractor was solely
undertaken by Frank Little
of Goderich.
A mixed crowd of over 200
horsemen and fun -seekers
attending theseminar, along
with donations from all over,
helped produce a profit of
$3,000 with which a tractor
has already been purchased.
Sufficient funds are left over
to also buy a drag and ripper
and some stone dust.
Little extends his ap-
preciation to each person
who helped with the fund-
raising in any way and says,
"Together, we did it."
