Lancaster Co. 4-H
reviews past year’s
By JOANNE SPAHR
LANCASTER - After a
full year of joys, struggles,
and fulfillments, it is many
times good for the soul to
look back and recount the
highlights of time past. Last
Thursday evening Lancaster
County Red Rose Beef and
Sheep Club members and
their parents did just that at
their annual Winter banquet
held at the Farm and Home
Center, JAncaster.
This year’s top beef award
winner was Brett Holzhauer,
Holtwood Rl. This 14-year
old had the distinction of
showing his Chiamna Angus
crossbred “Snowball” to the
championship of the 1978
Pennsylvania Farm Show,
for which he earned a $7,687
check as a ‘bookmark’ in his
4-H record book. For this
honor, Frey Brothers
Manufacturing, Quarryville,
who sold the 4-H’er his club
calf, honored him with an
electric clock. Agway, Inc.,
of Lancaster awarded him a
pen set for showing one
animal of the grand cham
pion beef trio at that
January agricultural show.
The two other members of
the grand champion trio
were Tim Hess, Lancaster
R 2, and Fritz Frey, Quar
ryville, who earned pen sets
from Agway for their two
heavyweight contributions
to the winning trio.
Prior to earning his honor,
Hess had also been recogniz
ed for showing the county
champion at the Lancaster
round-up on “that rainy
day” in November. At this
show the Lancaster cham
pion is chosen regardless of
the outcome at Farm Show.
In a different vein from the
other awards presented, .1C
Snavely & Sons, Landisville,
presented Hess a color wall
mount photo of the grand
champion. Also honoring the
county champion was Sperry
New Holland, New Holland
who gave the 4-H’er a wrist
watch. Following the county
show,' young Hess’s beef
went on to be named the
heavyweight champion of
the Farm Show Junior Beef
Show.
This year’s reserve county
champion was shown by
Dora Jo Geib, Manheim R 5,
who received a silver bowl
from Farm Credit Associa
tion, Lancaster.
The fmal awards in the
beef division went to the
showmanship champions.
Samuel Long, Peach Bot
tom, earned a silver trophy
for his outstanding per
formance at the county roun
dup and Kenneth Brubaker,
2418 Harrisburg Pike, Lan
caster, earned the same type
trophy for taking the cham
pion beef showman title at
the Pennsylvania Farm
Show in this, his last year of
4-H work. Grubb Supply,
Elizabethtown, supplied
both trophies.
In the lamb and sheep divi
sion, two outstanding club
members, Sarah Brubaker,
Lancaster, and Wayne Hess,
Conestoga Rl, were
recognized, Miss Brubaker,
the sister to Kenneth, earned
a trophy from Wenger’s Mill,
Rheems, for her county
champion pair and grand
champion single lamb. At
Farm Show the lady showed
reserve champion junior
market lamb and reserve
champion Hampshire
Hess’s trophy presented by
West Willow Farmers’
Association, West Willow,
was given to him for taking
the grand champion sheep
showman title in the junior
sheep division at the Penn
sylvania Farm Show

were given a rotating plaque

Midst the many awards of
appreciation bestowed on
the leaders by the 4-H’ers,
the club presented County
Extension Director Max M.
Smith with a paintmg for 41
years of service to the club
In accepting his gift, painted
by local artist Anne Rohrer,

still get the same satisfac
tion by helping boys and
girls in the county as I did 40
years ago. It’s wonderful to
work with the 4-H beef club ”
Other adult leaders receiv
ed gift certificates to Willow
Valley Restaurant.
The evening ended with a
song composed by Kenneth
