A tent set up at the 2019 International Plowing Match (IPM) is coming home with some hardware.
The Northeastern Ontario Pavilion was awarded the “Industry Leader for Marketing and Communications” award at the Northern Tourism Summit Gala and Awards in Timmins.
The pavilion consisted of two tents that hosted attractions from North Bay, Sudbury, Timmins, Temiskaming Shores, Temagami, and West Nipissing. Inside one tent were tourist options, maps, and interactive displays. Inside the other was a stage where local artists would perform along with a bar stocked with food and drink from local vendors.
After the IPM wrapped up, the organizers estimated close to 25,000 people visited the Northeastern Ontario Pavilion throughout the five-day event.
