September 14, 2015 · 0 Comments
Natalie Vink of Wrightway Farms on Innis Lake Road, is Peel-Dufferin’s new Queen of the Furrow. She was crowned last Thursday at the Peel-Dufferin Plowmen’s Association’s 90th annual Plowing Match, held at the Metcalfe Family Farm on Kennedy Road. She was demonstrating her plowing skill, under the eye of Association President Harry Brander.
There was a large crowd of competitors and spectators out for the various events. The plowing match included the Mayor’s Invitational, and this year, it was host mayor Allan Thompson who won.

Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones came in second in the Mayor’s Invitational. “I was quite proud of myself,” she said later.
There were a couple of cases of horses pulling the plows. This team of Belgians named Amy and Alvin were being driven by Kathleen MacRobbie of Mount Forest.
Matti Innis, 15, of Caledon East was showing her plowing prowess.
Outgoing Queen of the Furrow Julia Thompson crowned her successor Natalie Vink.
Hugh and Joseph Metcalfe were the hosts of the event.
