wp 34 -- Scugog Citizen -- Tu ') 5 ay, N 2, 1993 z Heather Vale crowned Queen of the Furrow by Heather McCrae Heather Vale of Sunderland was crowned Queen of the Furrow at the Region of Durham, Rama and Mara annual banquet, held October 28 at Greenbank United Church. This ambitious sixteen year old lives on a farm and it was only this year that she became interested in plowing through the encouragement of a friend, Heather Ferguson, and thus joined the Durham West 4-H Plowing Club. The newly crowned queen told the Citizen she took up plowing with the intention of helping out on the family's farm. As a 4-H member Heather had to compete at the local plowing match competitions held September 2 and 3. The 4- H competitions were held the first day and, plowing competitively for the first time ever, she won over 24 other contestants. "That really surprised my parents", she laughs. And the next day she competed once more, this time against a lot of adults, and came in first again, being "a real natural" at plowing now. Paul Harder, Les Smith, Barry Timbers and Jim Ferguson are the leaders of the 4-H club and all have helped Heather but she says Mr. Ferguson has been her main plowing coach. 4-H isn't foreign to Heather as this is the tenth 4-H club she's joined over the years. She was a member of the Sunderland Dairy Calf Club this year and currently is a member of their Brock 4-H Club, Consuming Passions. The Port Perry High School student already has her own baking business, often selling pies, cookies, cakes and other delicacies at the Uxbridge and Port Perry Country markets and also sells out of her home. She thinks she'll steer towards a career in the restaurant business. Heather was crowned by last year's Queen of the Furrow, Heather Timbers.
