Thanks to a heavy downpour early Thursday, the International Plowing Match in Pain Court has closed down for the day.
"We are closing Tented City because of our concern for the safety of our visitors, volunteers, and exhibitors and because we need to maintain the integrity of the land," said Cathy Lasby, Executive Director of the Ontario Plowmen's Association.
The RV Park remains operational. Scheduled entertainment in the RV Park will proceed.
Gates are expected to re-open again Friday morning at 8:30.
