Fan, food and winners abound at the Shippensburg Fair
BY DEBBIE KOONTZ
SHIPPENSBURG - This small,
college town in the lush green
heart of the Cumberland Valley
held its community fair this week
with shows and rides ending today.
Arts and crafts were entered by
neighbors surrounding the area
and prizes awarded for the best
quilts, and homemade jams and
jellies, making much of the fair
seem like an old treasured picture
such as Norman Rockwell would
paint.
But the rides, the games and the
delicious ox roast sandwiches
weren’t the only attraction this
year as members of three FFA
Chapters and one 4-H club
gathered for livestock and dairy
judging swine judging being one
of the largest in the area with 108
entrants.
The first half of the week was
devoted to five breeds of dairy
cattle and market livestock.
Breeding sheep and Holsteins had
their share of attention on Thur
sday. The market animals were
sold on Tuesday night.

Hog, a 227 pound Duroc selling for
