Wednesday, Sept. 28th - The 2022 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo has come and gone. Five very busy days showcasing agriculture and rural living.

        Unfortunately the rain put a damper on the Quilt Tent and the IPM Quilt Committee made the decision to not display the majority of the quilts. Using the entry area of the tent it was possible to display the smaller items on wire frame racks along with the three quilts made from the 2022 IPM Quilt Block Challenge. The barn quilts were also displayed on fence railing.

        Inside and outside the tent there were beautiful displays of autumn flowers, pumpkins and corn stalks. Planters, which were made with barn quilts on all four sides, were filled with marigolds.

        The Kemptville District Hospital Auxiliary and Victoria’s Quilts Canada, Kemptville Branch, each arranged a display. These two groups along with The Kemptville Quilters Guild, The Thousand Island Quilters Guild and The Upper Canada Quilters Guild planned, organized and executed both the August Show and IPM Quilt Tent. 

 

        The raffle quilt was won by Margaret Ruppel. The two made from these blocks were presented to the 2019 Queen of the Furrow and the 2022 host family, Charles, Rosemary, Zachary and Kirsten Bennett.

        Auto theft costs Canadians more than $1.2 billion every year. About half of all stolen vehicles are used to commit another crime or are driven - often recklessly - for simple purposes of transportation (this is called 'destination theft'). In these cases, the thieves take advantage of owner negligence by grabbing the first vehicle they can find that's been left unsecured. In the other half of cases, vehicles are stolen by thieves involved in organized crime rings.

        The OPP is asking that anyone with information or video surveillance of the area at the time of the incident to notify the SD&G OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477, or submit your tip online at www.ontariocrimestoppers.ca. Crime Stoppers does not want your name, you don't go to court, and you could earn a cash reward.
