International Plowing Match and Rural Expo({IPM) *PIC*

Every year the IPM is held in Late Sept. at a different location in Ontario. It is a 5 day farm show and plowing competition. The show takes up about 1000 acres of farmland for the Expo (Tented city), parking areas, Camping for 500 trailers, and competition plots . This year it was held near Walkerton about 20 minutes East of me. I volunteered to work in the antique tent. We had about 2000 school kids each day and about 80,000 total visitors for the five days.
I was asked to display my agricultural/rural dioramas. The following are some pics of our area.
