nearly
total,
8000
visitors took advantage of
the balmy holiday weather to
get out and enjoy what
McPherson had called, “the
last chance for local con
sumers to capture the
goodness of the fresh peach
in 1976.”
“We had cars where we
never dreamed we could,”
says Mrs. McPherson.
During Saturday, the first
day of the event, ap
proximately 1000 people
showed up; on Sunday, 3000
more came; and the crowd
hit its peak on Labor Day
with a grand total of 4000
visitors for the day.
Mrs. McPherson credits a
lot of Monday’s traffic to the
12-quilt auction sponsored by
the York County Farm
Women’s groups, which was
held in the afternoon. The
proceeds from the sale are to
go to the York County 4-H
Center Kitchen Equipment
fund.
“We started a year and a
half ago on this project,”
explained Mrs. Ethel Gross,
chairman of the project.
While the idea had been
decided upon for quite some
time previous to the sale, not
all of the societies finished
early.
“Some of them are hot off
the quilting frames,” the
chairman had commented.
In total, the auction netted
$2210, which Mrs. Gross
thought was “pretty good,
considering it was our first
attempt.”
The top two quilts sold for
$3OO a piece. One was
“Americana,” a red and
