3 | The IFP -H alton H ills | T hursday,M ay 30,2019 theifp.ca The Canadian Federation of University Women Georgetown would like to thank the community for the generous donations of used books and toys for its sale on May 11. The 48th annual book sale was once again a success, with funds raised used to award scholarships to first-year universi- ty students who live in Halton Hills. CFUW is celebrating 100 years of exis- tence nationally in 2019. To mark the occa- sion, CFUW Georgetown will be awarding a special scholarship to a deserving stu- dent - the Ashton-Kalil CFUW 100th Anni- versary Scholarship. CONTRIBUTED CFUW GEORGETOWN ANNUAL BOOK SALE A SUCCESS CFUW Georgetown members add up customer purchases at the 48th annual book sale May 11. CFUW Georgetown photo ready until the first week of August. How- ever, unusually hot weather could help the crops along faster. "If I'd planted two weeks ago, the seed would be rotting," Allison said. The Allisons have been farming in Georgetown since the late 1960s, and in the 1970s started growing sweet corn. Today, Allison grows sweet corn and pumpkins, and his brother grows cash crops. In 1975, the family opened the farm mar- ket, specializing in sweet corn during the summer and pumpkins in the fall. In 1997, Allison built a new farm market and ex- panded the range of farm-fresh produce, as well as creating room for produce from other local farmers. Aside from the farm market, the Alli- sons have attended the Downtown George- town Farmers Market since it opened. "We won't be there until there are local strawberries," Allison said. "They'll be late, too." Though strawberries are already in the ground, the weather has delayed the crop by about a week. Allison's Farm Market is at 10636 Eighth Line, but, as of May 23, it has not opened for the season. More information about Allison's is available at www.alli- sonsfarmmarket.com.

Usually planting at Allison's farm starts on May 1, but due to wet weather the season has been delayed.
