queen, Tammy Lobaugh, R 1
Gardners; and the judging
and auctioning of the finest
apple pies the county’s best
cooks could produce.
There was the traditional
odor of barbecued chicken
floating over the South
Mountain Fairgrounds along
the Conewago Creek and the
sticky-lipped smiles of the
youngsters enjoying their
eats.
The ‘scrunch’ of apples
could be heard throughout
the Fairground, ac
companied by the ‘glug’ of
cider sold by the county
fruitgrowers’ association.
The South , Mountain
Fairgound is the heart of the
apple blossom festival. But
the beauty of the occasion
was to be found in the
countryside along the Apple
Blossom Trail.
Thousands of cars and
buses wound their ways
slowly through the hills
around Arendtsville,
BiglerviUe, Idaville, Gard
ners and all of the other
towns whose names are
synonymous with the apple
industry in Pennsylvania.
There was spectacle
everywhere as the weather
cooperated providing a day
of crystal blue sky as a
backdrop for the blossoms

were treated to the crowning
