Extensive tractor parade brings IPM to Huron
Coming a long way
Dozens of vehicles from tractors to cars to farm equipment, as well as International Plowing
Match (IPM) 2017 Secretary Lynne Godkin doing it the old-fashioned way on her own two feet,
made their way from this year's match to Brussels to help kick off a year-long celebration
leading up to next year's event in Walton. The parade made its way down Brussels' main street
before ending up at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre for speeches, the
combining of soils and a night full of food and entertainment. (Vicky Bremner photo)

Wednesday to walk to Goderich.
Theresa and Elizabeth are hiking
friends from Kitchener who have
hiked many parts of the world. This
week they are on a pilgrimage of
their own as well as bringing
attention to the refugees in our
world, who leave home with their
belongings in their hands. Life takes
on a new view when a backpack
holds your resources. For this hike,
no airplanes or foreign languages
were involved but accommodation
was an issue. So United Church
folks along the Goderich-to-Guelph
Rail Trail offered the needed
hospitality. The stories we have all
heard and seen about refugees of the
world leaving their homes, took a
new perspective as our ladies with
packbacks waited for us at the
Walton store. After 24 kilometres of
walking, Becky Beuermann looked
after them for the Monkton portion
and Rick Elliott was ready to give
them rest when they covered the 13
kilometres to Blyth from the trail
