The Rural Voice, 2000-12, Page 5Cover
Freelance writer/photographer Sandra Orr
provides the cover photo for our Christmas
issue, the West Montrose covered bridge
decorated for Christmas. Our Christmas stories
include the good
work that
Ontario's pork
producers are
doing in donating
hogs and money
to help those less
fortunate. Also
Carol Riemer
provides a story
on the power of
Christmas
traditions. And
there's more.

There's no higher prize for 4-H beef club members than the
Queen's Guineas. It's the big league of competition and for the
dozens of young showmen who descend on the Royal Winter
Fair each fall to give it their best shot, it's the climax of hard
work and Tong hours, leading right up to the moment they
enter the ring. Page 18
