—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 12,1078 20 Scott Stoltzfus wins Berks FFA swine show By LAUREL SCHAEFFER Staff Correspondent LEESPORT - Fourteen year old Scott Stoltzfus of Elverson R 2 was very skeptical about bringing home any awards on August 2 from the Berks County FFA Market Hog Show and Sale, held here annually at the Leesport Market and Auction. He had entered the event for the first tune. “I just didn’t think my hogs were good enough,” he commented with a wry smile. But Scott underestimated his York/Hampshire crossbreds. Competing against 41 other hogs being shown by 16 fellow exhibitors, Scott showed his heavyweight barrow and mediumweight gilt to the grand and reserve champion honors. The son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wilmer Stoltzfus, this proud exhibitor is looking forward to many more shows while in the FFA. Scott, who will be at tending ninth grade at Twin Valley this Fall, explained that he has shown previously in 4-H competition but never went away with grand champions before. Rounding out his exceptional day, this young man also took third place in the lightweight class, outplacing his older brother, Tim, in all three weight divisions. Taking the blue ribbon in the lightweights was Betsy Moyer of Richland Rl, with her 195 pound Duroc gilt This young lady is the 17- year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Moyer. She is a recent graduate of Tulpehocken ftigh School and presently looking for a full-time job in agriculture. Also commanding at tention in the spotlight was Marjorie Faust of Kempton Rl Marione, the 16-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Faust, placed first in the junior showmanship competition.
