LEESPORT - Berks County
dairymen were introduced to their
new dairy princess, Deborah
Price, on Saturday, May sth, at the
ag center, Leesport. For most it
was seeing an old friend. To
Debbie, it was the culmination of
the past two years of promoting
milk as the alternate princess.
Active throughout her life with
dairy animals, goats, horses, and
poultry, Debbie is well-known
throughout the county and state for
the achievements in 4-H. It seemed
only fitting that this dairy
production major at Penn State be
crowned for what she has done
throughout her life promote the
qualities of milk while exhibiting
the quality of agricultural youth.
Debbie is the 19-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jere
Price, R 2, Douglassville. She is a
1983 graduate of Daniel Boone
High School and is currently
studying at Penn State to become a
veterinarian. A recipient of many
awards throughout her 4-H career,
