The Bale Trail will run in September this year to overlap with the International Plowing Match & Rural Expo 2023. Residents and visitors will see the creative side of our local farmers, residents and bale enthusiasts. Bales will be on display for the month of September. The Bale Trail map will be available on the Township’s website and Facebook page in early September.
