Wednesday, there'll be square
dancing, dressage, and Monica Veif
of Delhi with her llamas. On the
Thursday. Brian McLean of Ilderton
will herd both ducks and sheep with
his border collies. Bill Paul from Laff
Gards will be working the crowd on
the Friday. On Saturday, look for the
Royal Scots historical group that will
bring the War of 1812 back to life.
There's much more.
Hodgson adds that the John
Farmer Show will be
presented twice a day, every
day. The clown/comedian will be
bringing along a very special car with
special attributes – both wet and hot.
The Special Events Tent will
feature race cars including Steve
Robeley's car from Delaware
Speedway and sprint cars from Grand
bend.
Also look to see an antique
windmill display by Allen Mott of
Middlesex County who has the
largest collection of windmills in
Canada. The windmill fans open and
close like a flower.
Competitive plowing with both
horses and tractors, commercial
exhibits and give-aways, parades on
the opening and closing days, the
County Exhibit highlighting the
vibrant community of Middlesex, toy
tractor displays, food booths
featuring everything from eat -as -you -
walk meals to sit-down dinners, the
Queen of the Furrow competition,
and an ecumenical church service are
among the other reasons to attend
this year's IPM.
It's been a lot of work but well
worth the effort.
"You wake up with it in the
morning and you go to bed with it at
night," Peter Twynstra says.
Twynstra speaks for all the
volunteers in making this comment.
Two of those volunteers — Ross and
Eve Daily — are key to the success
of the event.
The . Dailys are heading the
Publicity Committee which hopes to
attract respectably -sized crowds to
this year's match. The only way to do
that, they feel, is by getting people
from the city, as well as the country,
out to the match.
There are just not enough people
directly involved with farming to
achieve the kind of attendance
figures envisioned by IPM
