FLEETWOOD Berks County
honored its outstanding 4-H
achievers March 2 at the Fleet
wood Grange Hall during the
annual awards banquet of the
Berks County 4-H Dairy Clubs.

“We’re real proud of this
group,” Carl Brown announced.
He referred to the Dairy Judging
team of Harold Dietrich, Patti
Dreisbach, Todd Miller, and
Charles Seidel who were each
honored with an individual plaque
for placing first in Pennsylvania
and first in the All American
contests. This was the first time
that Pennsylvania had won at this
level. Not only was this team best
over 18 states at the Eastern
National, they also were best in
oral reasons. Although the first
plaque the team won took some
luck, Brown stated, the oral
reasons award took a lot of
practice.

project. Debbie is currently at
tending Penn State with hopes of a
