LEBANON Adam Sonnen, a
14-year-old 4-H’er who has been
showing cows for five years, had a
first this year during the Lebanon
Area 4-H and FFA Dairy Show
Tuesday afternoon.
The son of Malcolm and Jancie
Sonnen, Richland, Adam showed
his 4-year-old cow to the winner’s
circle in the 4-H Holstein Show. It
was the first grand championship
for the young 4-H’er, but the glory
didn’t stop there.
If winning the 4-H Holstein title
wasn’t enough, then the overall
supreme championship put the
icing on the cake for Adam and his
cow. Of the Ayrshire, Brown Swiss,
Guernsey, Holstein and Jersey
cattle shown, judge Creedin
Cornman, Carlisle, selected
Sonnen-Acres Jemini Lucre as the
show’s supreme champion.
The selection of the supreme
champion animal was the
culmination of a day-long show
involving both 4-H and FFA
exhibitors. Colored breed entries
were shown first, followed by a full
show of Holstein animals.
Both the 4-H and the FFA
Ayrshire shows were dominated by
an 18-year-old exhibitor from
Lebanon. Heather Hemley, who
has a long record of show cham
pionships, took the grand cham
pion and reserve grand champion
titles in each show.
Judy Mase, a 12-year-old 4-H’er
from Lebanon, won the grand
championship title in Brown Swiss
competition. The reserve cham
pion title went to Bruce Heilinger,
16, Newmanstown, who has a herd
of 20 Brown Swiss cattle.
A FFA member as well, Bruce
earned the grand and reserve
grand championships in the FFA
Brown Swiss contest. A member of
the ELCO FFA Chapter, Bruce
won the championship titles at the
1983 Lebanon Fair.
With just three entries shown by
4-H’ers in the Guernsey class,
Karen Heilinger, Newmanstown,
won grand champion in her first
show. The reserve title went to
Christine Habecker, Annville, also
showing for the first time.
Runner-up to Adam Sonnen’s 4-IJ
Holstein grand champion, was a
cow owned by Adam’s cousin,
David Sonnen, also of Richland.
David’s reserve champion was
shown by his sister, Becky.
In FFA Holstein competition, the
grand and reserve grand cham
pion honors went to John Kline,
Myerstown. This was John’s last
time showing as a FFA member at
the Lebanon Fair.
Four-H Jersey grand champion
honors were earned by Louise
Landis, Jonestown. A three-year
show veteran, this was Louise’s
first championship. The reserve
champion title went to Ellen
Hanson, Palmyra, Lebanon
County’s Dairy Princess, who was
competing in her first dairy show.
To make the day even more
memorable, Ellen won the grand
championship in the FFA Jersey
Show. Ken Heisey, Newmanstown,
who owns 32 head of Jerseys and
Holsteins, showed the reserve
champion cow.
Competing individually during
the class shows, the 4-H and FFA
members pulled their entries
together for the club herd contest.
The 4-H Colored Breed winners
were No-So-Ann, first, and
Norlebco, second. The 4-H Holstein
winners were ELCO, first;
Norlebco, second; and No-So-Ann,
third. The FFA Chapter herd title
went to ELCO, followed by
Norlebco and Annville-Cleona.
