(Continued from Page 58)
Recently, she appeared on
York television ac
companying the Magic Cow
and helped to promote dairy
products at the York Fair.
“It gets rather hectic
sometimes, but it’s fun,” is
Patty’s opinion of holding
down two jobs at area cattle
exhibits. Between handing
out ribbons and trophies as
she congratulates winners,
she often takes her place at
the halter of the Greek’s
show animals.
Activities at the Salem
United Methodist Church are
also a part of the busy life of
York’s dairy princess. She’s
president of the Youth
Fellowship and helps to
teach a Sunday School class
of pre-kindergarten
youngsters.
Twice weekly, Patty
meets with other members
of the Lower Chanceford
Recreation Council, a
neighborhood group that
organized for fun md
fellowship for all ages m the
rural township. Meeting at
the Lower Chanceford
Elementary School,
volleyball games are on the
recreation schedule during
the cold wmter months,
while softball and football
games are the drawing in
