Around the arena, a cheering
audience applauded the widely
grinning York insurance executive
and country-boy-made-good, Art
Glatfelter, who had attended the
auction on impulse, after a casual
invitation by county agent Tony
Dobrosky.
Glatfelter had just paid a record
setting $l2 per pound for the 1255-
pound champ.
“No one remembers a second
place bidder,” Gladfelter had
quipped afterward, explaining his
$15,060 impulse buy.
But after mulling over his four
legged acquisition during the
following weekend, the breeder of
Paso Fino horses on his own
eastern York County farm called
up the county agent and said he
wanted to give the steer back to the
youth of York County.
After hasty consultation with key
county youth leaders, a fund
raising raffle plan emerged.
Glatfelter would sponsor the fund
raising by printing 40,000 tickets,
at his own expense.
Five top prizes in the raffle were
to be packages of the champion’s
steaks, roasts and hamburger.
Five additional winners would get
steak dinners for two at the Ac
comac Inn on the Susquehanna,
widely acclaimed for its cuisine.
Members of both the 4-H and
FFA organizations sold the tickets,
at one dollar each, marking on
each ticket which particular club
judging or team or chapter’s
treasury should be credited for the
ticket sale amount. Twenty cents
of each 4-H ticket sold went to the
county’s 4-H Center fund.
