A PREMIER AGRICULTURAL EVENT IN CANADA COMES TO PRESCOTT RUSSELL COUNTIES
Sept 20-24 , 2011 Prescott Russell Counties hosted the International Plowing Match and Rural Exposition at Chute a Blondeau in Eastern Ontario. In excess of 70,000 visitors attend this massive 5 day, outdoor event and OFSC District One Snowmobile Association was there promoting Organized Snowmobiling for all 232 clubs of Ontario as we met and spoke with many landowners that have trails on their property.
A "tented city" covering 100 acres was home to some 600 exhibitors and vendors for 5 days showcasing many local businesses related to broad base of high technology, agriculture, alternate energy generation, manufacturing and service industries and yes the 98th anniversary of the IPM plowing competition. The enthusiastic work force of volunteers from District One listen and spoke with many landowners from across Ontario at this premier event with all but good news of thanks from the many landowners to all clubs for being organized with a well defined trail across their property.
