McConaughey relinquishes nat’l Southdown crown LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Mixed emotions were apparent as Darlene McConaughey of Smicksburg, Pennsylvania, crowned the 1981-82 National Southdown Queen last week in Louisville, Kentucky. Darlene confessed she is glad the busy schedule ot being a national queen is over, but she will miss meeting new people. Darlene served one year as Pennsylvania Southdown queen before wearing the national crown. As National Southdown Queen, Darlene attended several county and state shows, the Midwest Show and Sale in Sedaha, Missouri, and the National Southdown Show and Sale in Louisville, Ky. She also visited elementary schools telling about sheep and wool and arranged a visit by a junior church group to her farm. Darlene’s major emphasis during her reign was to promote activities for junior Southdown breeders, stating she feels this is where the future of the breed lies. Darlene developed a pamphlet telling of all the junior Southdown contests and activities and built an exhibit which she earned along to all Southdown activities. This is not the end of promoting sheep for Darlene, however. She plans to continue developing her a ward-winning and Suffolk flocks. j|XMQWUWCIMIMCMC]MCM(MKS(XSM(!
