Arkansas 9 Sandra Williams rei
_ BY M.H. GITT
Staff Correspondent
GETTYSBURG - Sandra Kay
Williams, the Arkansas Apple
Queen was chosen Miss Apple
Queen USA for 1982 at the Apple
Harvest Ball sponsored by the
Adams County Fruit Growers
Association with the Get :
tysburg Area of Commerce
coordinating the program.
The five-foot five-inch blonde
native of Jacksonville, Arkansas
was selected from 11 other con
testants from as far away as
California. First runner-up was
Heather Lee Staubach, of York,
Pennsylvania, and the second
runner-up was Lorraine Ann Hays,
the Ohio State Apple Queen who
was also chosen “Miss
Congeniality” by the other queens.
After receiving the crown and
banner from departing queen
Kathy Solenberger, Sandra noted,
"I’m excited, a little fearful, and
anxious. I’m excited to be chosen
Miss Apple Queen USA, I’m a little
fearful of what’s lying ahead, but
I’m anxious for it to start.”
The 20 year old “apple of the
judge’s eyes” is a junior at the
University of Central Arkansas
where she is studying dental
hygiene and occupational therapy.
Sandra is the state’s first queen not
raised on an apple farm and the
first young woman from Arkansas
to win the national title.
' Earlier in the day, the queens
strolled the .South Mountain
Fairgrounds and helped at various
exhibits at the Apple Harvest
Festival which is sponsored by the
Upper Adams County Jaycees and
the Gettysburg Travel Council..
Sandra worked at the apple butter
booth lending a hand to stir and
mix.

When asked to compare this
festival with the one back home,
the new queen stated, “This one'is
a lot bigger and better and the
people are really friendly.” The
main reason for the size difference
is that the entire state of Arkansas
produces less than one million
bushels of apples, while Adams
Comity produces five times that
much.
Originally the festival was set up
to promote the apple industry,
which is. the biggest employer in
the county. It has been run by the
Jaycees with proceeds going to
finance services sponsored by the
organization. The Jaycees also
started the national apple queen
contest and ball, but this com
petition was taken over by the fruit
growers last.year.
Over 400 people attended the ball
and contest Saturday evening, and
10,000 people attended the festival
on Saturday and another 12,000 on
Sunday. According to Ron Ben
nent, chairman for the Apple
Harvest Committee, Saturday was
the best openmg day they have
ever had and the record for the two
weekend affair was over 40,000 in
1976. With business from as far
away as Maine and
Massachusetts, th 6 sponsors are
looking for a record crowd on this
their second weekend. Tourists can
s tour orchards m the area, watch
fresh cider being pressed, take
rides drawn by an old steam
tractor, be entertained by
musicians or square dancers,
investigate hundreds of craft items
and feast on apple ‘eats’ ranging
from pancakes to candy.
Visitors weren’t the only ones
impressed with the festival.

Paulette Dongvillo, whose parents
farm a 200-acre fruit orchard,
found, “Adams County so nice and
the people so friendly.” Jacquelyn
Jester, the Western New 'York
Apple queen, said, “I just love it
all. The whole festival is won
derful.”
Helping to make the festival a
success were* the "delightful
