It’s set to be a couple days of fun during the 2023 Hastings County Plowing Match and Farm Show, taking place this year in Deseronto.
myFM spoke with President Clare Dracup, who told us the Hastings County Plowing Association has been hosting this event as we know it today since 1988.
Eastern Ontario’s largest annual outdoor farm show is taking place August 23rd and 24th.
Dracup tells us this year’s plowing match and tented city is up to about 70 vendors so far.
There will also be entertainment by a gentleman from the Peterborough area, food vendors, Hastings County 4-H milkshake booth, and of course the plowing competition featuring horse plowing, there will likely be a team of mules, antique plowing, and conventional plowing.
This event wouldn’t be possible without the help of their dedicated volunteers.
There is a $5 admission fee to get you in the gate with free parking available.
For more information you can visit them online at HarvestHastings.ca or on Facebook.
Also, come out and cheer on myFM as we take part in the Media Plowing Match Wednesday!
