A2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 31,1981
STRASBURG - If sports fans
were as loyal and supportive as
members of the Lancaster County
Poultry Association, there would
hardly ever be any empty, “no
show” seats in stadiums and ball
parks.
Thursday night at Historic
Strasburg, 432 places were set for
the annual banquet of the Poultry
Association.
A total of 427 of them were filled
when president Leroy Esbenshade
called the annual get-together to
order and welcomed the large
throng.
Major item of business was the
election of four directors, including
Marlin R. Hershey, Lancaster,
representing allied industries; and
producers, John Hershey, Rl,
Marietta; Galen R. Martin, R 2,
Mount Joy; and H. Dale Rohrer,
R 6, Lititz.
The on-going support of the
members of the association, in
addition to the large attendance,
was exemplified in reports given
by LaVon Fuhrman, County
Poultry Queen; and Jay Irwin,
County Extension Director, on
behalf of the various committees.
In just three months, the poultry
queen has participated in at least a

YORK - State Holstein
Association president, John Cope
of Mechanicsburg, told York
Holstein breeders last week that
their association is “in good hands
with some 6,000 members now”
and that another good financial
year has been closed on the books.
Cope was one of several Holstein
association leaders who presented
brief comments to the hundred
dairy farm members and guests
attending the annual dinner
meeting, held last Friday evening
at Avalong Farms Restaurant.
County members also elected
three new directors to the board
for three year terms. They are
Charles Rauhauser, Dover,
Rodney Smyser, York, and J.
Donnell Taylor, Delta.

York Holstein meeting were Bridgette Boyer and Dana Doll,

dozen major promotional events on
behalf of the poultry industry.
These range from riding the
association prize-winning float at
all county fairs, attendance at the
Pennsylvania Foods Expo and a
hatchery open house to helping to
prepare egg food items at the
downtown Lancaster Harvest
Days and the Ag Week of the
Lancaster County Farmer’s
Association at Park City.
“It has been an unforgettable
experience to meet all of these
people and tell them about the egg
and poultry industry,” Queen
Fuhrman said.
“I’m looking forward to a con
tinuation of the promotion during
the next nine months.”
Extension Director Irwin
outlined the achievements during
the past year of the many com
mittees, including Education,
Promotion, Queen, Membership,
Tour, Publicity, Float, and
Banquet.
“This is a $143 million poultry
industry in Lancaster County,”
Irwin reminded.
“Sometimes, many people take
it for granted, but we must never
take for granted the many efforts
that are put forth to promote it.”
Honored during the program
were several youth of the county,
winners in the Junior Holstein
Association’s summer fitting and
showing workshop, held late July.
Fitting awards were presented to
Dana Doll and Todd Warner.
