150 years of canada ipm antique show

I guess the committee is willing to give the MV community full cooperation for any needs to have a good showing of MVs. Not only is it the 150 for Canada it apparently is the 100th anniversary of the "Victory Match" , That being the first international plowing match held after victory of WW I. So they are really wanting a good showing. Hoping to generate a lot of interest through this forum for them.

.. there was a guy up there - who was a farmer AND a military vehicle guy ...

perhaps near to Holmesville ...

he must be on vacation.

I think it is generally accepted WW 1 ended November 11 1918. Perhaps the reference would be for the Canadian Corp taking Vimy Ridge in 1917.

Perhaps that's what they are referring to, not entirely sure. All I know is that they are hoping to get a good turn out for the show. They seem to want to invest time and money into it to get us out there. Hopefully we can get some good amounts of MVs out for them. Unfortunately I don't know enough about organizing groups and shows or know anyone that does show setups to get it going in the right direction.
