The booth will be manned by the
growers and commodity group
representatives, Sammons said. In
addition, Nancy Ball, 1984 Miss
Delaware, will be greeting produce
industry representatives on the
opening day in order to create
more attention to Delaware’s
presence at the show.
The ad hoc committee formed to
organize the Delaware fresh fruit

the first time the First State has
participated in a show of this scale.

Del. plans Apple Night
HARRINGTON, Del. - October
30 has been designated as
Delaware Apple Night at
Harrington Raceway in
Harrington.
On that night, the Delaware
Apple Growers Association will be
providing a free apple to every
person that passes through the
gate. Delaware Apple Queen
Yvonne Simpson of Milford will
greet the race fans and personally
distribute over a thousand apples.
The Clubhouse Restaurant will
be featuring apples on its menu
that evening, and a special Apple
Queen Trophy Race will be run.
Simpson will present the winner
with an engraved trophy topped off
with a Red Delicious apple.
Delaware’s apple harvest is in
full swing, and producers say the
crop looks very good. The cool
nights and warm days of early
September helped nature paint a
deep red coat on the apples.
Delaware orchards are expected
to turn out over 321,000 bushels this
year.

market areas, we hope to
stimulate fresh produce sales,”
said Sammons.
“We’re proud of our products
and we think we need to get out
there face to face with produce
buyers and let them know we can
supply their needs”, he said.
A bus trip to the Produce
Marketing Association Convention
and Exposition is being planned for
Monday.
Delaware Agriculture
Delaware Agricultural Product
Logo.
“We hope that agri-business
producing a Delaware agricultural
or food product for sale in or out of
the state will use the logo
somewhere on the product on a
bag, box, carton, wrap or
whatever,” said Bill Sammons,
marketing manager for the
Delaware Department of
Agriculture.
“A recent survey conducted for
the department has shown that 92
percent of the state’s population
would prefer buying Delaware
produced products, but they can’t
easily identify those products in
stores.”
In addition to using Delaware’s
Agricultural Product logo on
product packaging, Sammons has
suggested its use in advertising
in point-of-sale materials, price
cards, newspaper or magazine
advertising.
The Delaware Department of
Agriculture asks that the logo only
be used on quality products not
on seconds, rejects or pickouts.
The state’s ag product slogan to
accompany the logo states: “First
rate from the First State. ’ ’
Sammons also has asked agri
business using the logo and slogan
to send the department any
samples so that they came be used
in a display booth that will promote
Delaware ag products at shopping
meals and schools.
