Huron OPP officers
and snow operators
were out in full force
as the first taste of
winter struck Huron
County this past
weekend.
The freezing rain
and snow started
falling within the
county and police
started to get calls of
icy roads and vehicles
in the ditch.
Police received 45
reported collisions on
area highways and
township roads from
Dec. 8 to 11. In some
cases police arrived to
find that the vehicles
had already been
removed.
There
were no
injuries in the

Seaforth one step away from hosting
Canadian Professional Golf Tour
Jeff Heuchert
Seaforth is one step away
from getting to host a
Canadian Professional Golf
Tour event over three years,
beginning in 2008.
The Canadian Tour has
approved the proposal from
Carolanne Doig and
Maureen Agar for a Come to
the Country Classic event,
and has left a spot open in
August of 2008 for the tour
to come to Seaforth.
The last step is to raise the
$150,000 required for the
purse.
Doig says they have until
September 2007 to have
either collected the money, or
have commitment letters
from sponsors.
To help come up with the
required money, organizers
last week mailed out
sponsorship packages to 400
local businesses, as well as
businesses across Huron
and Perth counties.
Each package includes
information about the tour, a
list of sponsorship
opportunities and a
commitment return letter
and envelope to send back.
Doig says they wanted to
give local -businesses, small
and large, the first chance to
sponsor the event before they
mail out another 100
sponsorship packages to
larger provincial, national
and international companies
that regularly sponsor such
events.
"We wanted to make sure
anybody interested in this
area was first," says Doig.
"It's a great way to
showcase your company to
an audience you'd never
reach otherwise," she adds.
Companies are being
offered six sponsorship
packages, some for three
years, others for just one.
Entitlements in the
packages range from tickets
to the gala, a spot on the
Pro -Am, prominent signage
throughout the tour and in
two of the packages, coverage
from the Golf Channel
network, which will
broadcast the event.

community at its best. The
