Wilbur Houser and Mrs. Leroy Beiler took over the cooking chores. “Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Beiler did an excellent job, and they cooperated and helped and advised the new committee. We had a lot to learn.” Mrs. Groff said that a 1 ot of local people come, but she also knows people who at tend the fair from Manheim and Elizabethtown. “Many come in the af ternoon, look around and then eat. There are people who come pretty much the same time each year.” She is usually so occupied in the kitchen that she doesn’t get around to see all the exhibits, but Evelyn -says, “In the last several years the fair is really growing. Vegetables, houseplants, and flowers have really increased. There are many more people with gardens.” She added that sewing entries have mcreased, and especially arts and crafts entries. “A lot of people have hobbies,” she said. ' Although she doesn’t enter something every year, Mrs. Groff said she enjoys exhibiting. In the past she has entered violets, ferns, and tuberous begonias. “I did pretty well. Some got blues, some got reds and some got no ribbon at all,” she said. She has also entered fresh vegetables upon occasion and the family always exhibits fresh milk. When asked about Lampeter’s policy of not having a Saturday Fair, Mrs. Groff said, “I think the Fair was started by Christian and church people and they probably wanted to have the clean-up done on Saturday.” She was also added it probably had to do with the fact that the original fair was organized through the West Lampeter Vocational School, and the school building was used and students were given credit for school by attending the fair. Evelyn noted that her hobbies include her plants and her garden. “I like to can and freeze - it’s kind of a necessity. I also enjoy cooking and making egg cheese.” This dairy farmer’s wife said, “We use a lot of milk and I churn butter. I bring the milk in and let the cream rise, then make the butter and use the buttermilk in the egg cheese.” She said the frequency of making butter varies, but she sometimes makes it every three days and sometimes as infrequently as every 10 days. The Groffs have about 50 registered Holstems and farm nearly 160 acres. Mrs. Groff assists in that operation by keeping farm records, but with three sons at home she doesn’t help with the actual milking. LANCASTER SILO CO.

Though they cannot break the skin of most fruits, they look for the ones with holes or cracks caused by birds or other insects. Experts recommend that beekeepers consider moving their colonies away from orchards and vineyards so their bees do not bother fruit pickers or graders. AGWAY, INC.
