Plans are coming together for the 86th annual Chatham-Kent Plowing Match.
The event will be held Saturday, August 12th at the DeBrouwer farm on Ed’s Line in Blenheim, starting at 9:30am.
Prizes will be awarded in various classes as well as the Youngest and Eldest Plowman, Junior Special, and Plowing Special, among other categories.
Last year’s Queen of the Furrow, Rebekah Ball, will continue her reign for the 2023-24 year.
However, organizers are looking for young women to compete in the Princess of the Furrow competition, open to ages 11 to 16 as of January 1st, 2022.
Contestants will need to register in advance and give a speech on any topic related to agriculture.
Those interested in registering need to contact Stephanie Richardson at 519-365-5952 or email ckplowing@outlook.com.
