Huron County Plowing Match
This summer, the Huron County Plowing Match is returning to form with a full slate of events for the first time in three years.
The 2022 Huron County Plowing Match is set to take place in Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh on Aug. 18-19 at the St. Helen’s Line farm of Brian and Annette MacKenzie.
Huron County Warden and Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh Mayor Glen McNeil will co-host the event alongside the MacKenzies.
The MacKenzies produce Legacy Maple Syrup at their home farm, using steam power, which is one of the more interesting maple syrup operations in all of Huron County.
Unlike last year, when the Huron County Plowmen’s Association held a modified invitation-only, one-day event, this year the organization plans to host its traditional two-day match. The first day will be Junior Day with the junior plowing competition and 4-H Sodbusters achievement day going ahead as well as the Princess competition, while the second day will feature the senior plowing competition, displays and a silent auction and the Queen of the Furrow competition.
On the evening of the second day, the match will conclude with a banquet and awards ceremony, as well as with the crowning of the Princess and the Queen of the Furrow, ending the reigns of Grace Hallahan and Maranda Klaver respectively, the longest reigns in local plowing match history.
