Contact: Luke Hibshman, Nevin Wagner or Glenn Horst Going to the Farm Show at Harrisburg this year was a bit different than other years. For one thing, I accidentally met my sister in the crowd and was able to show her around. She had seen all of the animals and all of the huge machinery but wohdered if there were any crafts displayed anywhere. My desire was to see the braided rugs as I’ve finally started another one this winter. And since my husband is a “regular” at the show, I too have been there many times and was able to act as her guide for the afternoon. She has delved into many crafts and as Christmas gifts I’ve received pottery, framed wild flowers, hand painted boxes, etc. I’m wondering if the show is so big that some other people miss part of TEXASHASH 1 pound ground beef 3 large onions, sliced 1 large green pepper, chopped 116-ounce can tomatoes *. cup uncooked regular rice 2 teaspoons salt 1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder 1/8 teaspoon pepper Heat oven to 350°F In large skillet, cook and stir meat, onion and green pepper until meat is brown and vegetables are tender Drain off fat.

Another difference in the Farm Show for us this year was the opportunity to stay for the evening square dancing program. You see, many years ago we participated in the program on the dance floor. As we still belong to the Foot and Fiddle Club, hearing the familiar calls and seeing the very colorful costumes was quite enjoyable. Allen and I have just celebrated another wedding anniversary and several friends and relatives have been kind enough to invite us to their homes for dinner to help us celebrate. We got married on a blustery, snowy day. Some guests could not get to the church and others had trouble getting home again. We also had to postpone our trip to Florida because the roads were closed due to the storm. That year my father had steers that he watered by chasing them to the Conestoga River every day to drink and for a month he had to break the ice with an axe everyday. So when I awaken on a cold morning, t remember 37 years ago and know things could be a lot worse. M
