Above: Carl Weinr and Len Kruemer counting advance [PM lickctr. 65 the 2008 Bruce County Intemational Plowing Match (1PM) gets progressively closer. it is time to take steps to attend, and the first step could be the purchase of advance tickets. Carl Weins and Len Kraemer of the Gates and Tickets Committee stated that their Committee’s goal is to create a positive first impression, a “lasting good impression" of the Bruce County l'PM. Since the primary function of the Gates and Tickets Committee is to sell tickets for entry into Tented City, the 2008 1PM Gates and Tickets Committee plans to get people through one of the five gates as quickly as possible with short or no lineups. The key to both speed and a good impression is organization that includes proper training and signage, but if there is a glitch in the process, “solutions will have been anticipated." Signage is being obtained and the necessary training has been organized. In fact, advance training for all the volunteers who will be at the gates will be held on Tuesday, 2 September, 2008 at 7:00 p.rrL in the Knights of Columbus Hall between Mildmay and Walkerton. One step to av oitl lineups at the gates is to sell advance tickets, and advance tickets have been on sale since December 2007, Every month a person who has purchased a package of six tickets is eligible for a draw with prizes from local restaurants and eatingestablishments: Dec 2007, Duukeld Restaurant.
