(David Bia-iey photo)_________________________________________ Tradition’s future, IPM theme The theme of the 2004 International Plowing Match (IPM) is The Future of Tradition, and co- chair Pearl Bumstead says it’s sure to leave a lasting legacy. The match will be held in<Grey County, west of Meaford, on Grey Rd. 12. The host farm for the tented city is owned by the Davison family, the same property the tented city was held on in 1987 when Grey County last hosted the Match. "We are located right next to a woodlot in which we will be hosting a woodlot tour, and directly adjacent to an apple orchard where there will be an educational, hands-on tour of the apple industry,” said Bumstead. This apple orchard tour is a first of an (IPM), which. Bumstead says is “a perfect fit for Grey County, apple country.” Another first is the combination of the lounge tent and trailer park entertainment tent. “There is lounge during the day and trailer park entertainment during the evenings with the tent located halfway between the tented city and trailer park,” Bumstead explains. With the match closing on a Sunday, Bumstead said it is only fitting to host the church service on site the closing aay. The lounge tent will also be used for this function. "It is hoped that the area churches will support a non-denominational service on Sunday,” Bumstead said. The 2004 match will also be hosting many kinds of entertainment from within Grey County, as well as releasing a promotional CD of featured entertainers from the area. These entertainers can be seen at four stages throughout the tented city and trailer park. Another big part of the match is the exhibits. Between 500 and 600 are expected including horse, antique, and modern plowing, farm equipment dealers, livestock, commercial agri-business, artisans (the majority from Grey County), antique displays, helicopter rides, and team penning. Bumstead says the educational area is still very much in the planning stages but is certain it will include a whole street. "There will be an interactive display where children can follow through educational areas that will fit very nicely into the school curriculum.” Here the children will learn hands- on about rural and agricultural practices. Bumstead said the school board will be notified about the program and will be encouraged to participate with as many students as possible over the five-day period of the match. An important part of the IPM is fundraising and with the event projected to cost $1.8 million, many events are in place and about to happen soon to help cover costs, including raffle tickets for an antique tractor. “Souvenirs are selling very well and we are adding to the lines all the time. We can’t keep the cookbooks on the shelves - they’re selling like hot cakes,” Bumstead said. The souvenirs, trailer park, and marketing and promotions committees are busy getting ready to attend this year’s plowing match and Rural Expo in Lanark County from Sept. 17-21. Bumstead said, “The local IPM Country Fare By Patricia Ham, Auburn School House Hoping you will enjoy and use some of the recipes I will be giving each month.
