The Wellington County Plowing Match is fast approaching and the Plowmen’s Association is seeking young women who would like to compete for the Wellington County Queen of the Furrow 2015-16 title.
The Queen of the Furrow represents the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association by attending various agricultural functions and community events throughout the year.
As an agricultural ambassador you will partake in amazing opportunities as you travel around your home county.
The Queen of the Furrow 2015-16 will also represent Wellington County at the Ontario Queen of the Furrow competition held in conjunction with the International Plowing Match (IPM) 2016, which will be held in Harriston.
This is an incredible occasion to be the Wellington Queen when the IPM is hosted in your own county.
To become the Wellington County Queen of the Furrow, competitors must prepare a short speech on an agricultural topic, complete a brief interview with three judges, answer an impromptu question and plow at the Wellington County Plowing Match.
Participants will be supplied with a tractor, plow and a plow coach. Competitors must be females living in Wellington County and between the ages of 18 and 25.
Competitors must also be able to attend the Wellington County Plowing Match on Aug. 20 in Harriston (at #6404 Wellington County Road 109), as well as the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association Banquet on Oct. 23 in the evening at the Alma Hall.
The newly crowned Queen of the Furrow must be available to attend the International Plowing Match in Harriston, Sept. 20 to 24, 2016.
