Another person whom Esther
regards as irreplaceable is Paul
Sweigart, who helps with the
“properties” for the Fair. Esther
says it is Paul who assembles the
trestles, lumber, frames and other
materials which are used for the
displays.
The Ephrata fair has grown, and
it now attracts between 80,000 and
100,000 visitors to the town each
fall. Esther comments, “Anything
that draws that many people
certainly has to have some
benefits.”
When the judging is over and the
exhibits are in place, Esther heads
over to Mdln Street to the food
stand operated by Farm Women
Society 3, of which she is a member
and past president. The food stand
is an institution for fair goers, and
when asked what they serve,
Esther answered unhesitatingly,
“Good food.”
In fact, they offer a different
platter every day, including their
well know deviled clams, ham
burgers, hot dogs and a Farm
Women special, added to their
sandwich line last year Dairy

drinks, coffee and homemade
baked goods are also offered, and
Esther says, “It’s the only fund
raiser we do all year.” Last year
the Society contributed nearly
$3,500 to community causes.
Esther has been a member of
Society 3 since she was 14, the
youngest anyone is allowed to join.
Her mother was a local apd state
president of the group, and took
Esther along to Society meetings.
Esther in turn, has taken her two
daughters along. Her daughters,
Florence and Linda, are also
members of the Society.
Cooking comes naturally for
Esther, who has also cooked for
church suppers for 35 years at
Swamp United Church of Christ in
Reinholds. It is at this church
where the Farm Women Society
meets to do much of the necessary
preparation for their food stand at
the fair.
A lifelong Republican, Esther
serves as committeeman for the
Cocalico area, and several years
ago was named Republican of the
Year. “It was really an honor. I
received a citation from the House
and from the Senate. ’ ’
Another of Esther’s teats at the
Ephrata Fair is win" i rg the
milking contest, something she did
twice. In 1972 she placed first, but
the following year, she says, “i
was nosed out.” Unfortunately, it
is the tradition forthe winner to
keep the trophy only after three
successive wins, so Esther had it m
her possession just one year. In
1978, the tenth anniversary of the
contest, all previous winners were
invited back, and Esther won
again. She says with delight, “i
beat them all.”
Esther milking cows as a child,
and although she hasn’t lived on a
farm for years, she feels that it is
one skill that is never forgotten. As
for entering future contests, she
says, “I’M finished.”
You’ll also find Esther at tent
city where they have the lamb
carcass sale and most likely she
will be among the buyers.
It is because of the enthusiasm of
people like Esther that the local
fairs in Lancaster County are a
success. When this year’s Ephrata
Fair is history, Esther will take a
well-deserved rest, but not for
long. Soon it is time for evaluating,
making suggestions and revisions,
and before too long, fair season
will be here again.
