The Chatham-Kent Queen of the Furrow Competition will be held at the Chatham-Kent Plowing Match on Aug. 9 in Dover Centre. The Chatham-Kent Plowmen’s Association is looking forward to once again crowning a queen at this year’s plowing match after having discontinued the competition more than a decade.
The competition is open to young women living in Chatham-Kent between the ages of 17 and 24.
The event has three main portions – an interview, plowing showcase and a speech. For those interested, a tractor and plow will be provided for use by the contestants for the plowing portion of the competition.
The Chatham-Kent Queen of the Furrow will have the duty of promoting the Chatham-Kent Plowing Match and the upcoming 2018 International Plowing Match throughout Chatham-Kent and beyond.
The winner will also represent Chatham-Kent at the 2015 International Plowing Match, to compete to become the Ontario Queen of the Furrow.
Deadline for entries is July 26. Anyone with questions about the position or to obtain more information can contact Rob Sterling, Chatham-Kent Plowmen’s Association president, by phone at 226-626-3947 or by e-mail at ckplowing@outlook.com.
