The Chatham-Kent Queen of the Furrow Competition will be held at the Chatham-Kent Plowing Match on Saturday, August 9th, in Dover Centre. The Chatham-Kent Plowmen’s Association is looking forward to once again crowning a Queen of the Furrow at this year’s Chatham-Kent Plowing Match after having discontinued the competition more than 10 years ago.
The competition is open to young women residing in Chatham-Kent between 17 and 24 years of age. The competition consists of 3 main portions – an interview, plowing ability, 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, both throughout Chatham-Kent and beyond. The winner will represent Chatham-Kent at the 2015 International Plowing Match, to compete to become the Ontario Queen of the Furrow.
The deadline for entries is July 26th. Anyone with questions about the position or to obtain a detailed description of the rules, duties, and responsibilities of the Chatham-Kent Queen of the Furrow are encouraged to contact Rob Sterling, Chatham-Kent Plowmen’s Association President, by phone at 226-626-3947 or by email at ckplowing@outlook.com.
