The buck didn’t stop dairy
promotion last Saturday night. It
continued it in a big way. But let’s
start at the beginning.
When the Buck Tractor Pull
owner, Clarence Keener, got
together with Show Ease Stall Co.
owner, John Kreider, to plan for a
dairy promotion night at the
regular Saturday night event, they
wanted to promote milk and give
the tractor pull fans a big treat. So
they enlisted the help of a lot of
dairys and gave everybody under
five and over 65 a cup of milk,
white or chocolate.
In addition, anyone who made a
25 cent donation to the Lancaster
County Dairy Princess Pageant

night.
Dairy Promotion Didn’t Stop At The Buck
Program got a cup of milk, too.
Milk shakes were available. The
pink cow wondered around in the
crowd. And a calf was tied in a
hutch for the children to enjoy.
The new Chester County Dairy
Princess with her court joined the
Lancaster County Dairy Princess
candidates on a hay ride. The
announcers for the tractor pull
event reminded the 3500 people in
the stands throughout the evening
about the dairy promotion.
The dairys who participated in
the event included; Lehigh Dairy,
Penn Daires, Pine View, Maple

Highlighting the evening
program was presentation of this
year’s guest of honor. The award
went to a surprised John F.
Steadman of Stevensville, a for
mer sports editor and columnist
for 28 years with the now-defunct
Baltimore News-American.
As co-chairman of the 4-H Club
Foundation outing for the third
consecutive year, Steadman was
unaware ahead of time that he had
been selected as this year’s
honoree.
Last year’s honoree was Charles
E. (Charlie) Keller of Yellow
Springs, former Frederick County
4-H boy and star outfielder for the
New York Yankees, 1939-49.
The 1984 honoree was John C.
(Jack) Scarbath of Calvert (Cecil
County), gn All-American quar
terback at the University of
Maryland in 1952 and runnerup
that year for the Heisman trophy.
In his acceptance speech,
Steadman said that he was
honored to be in such distinguished
company. He commented that,
although he grew up near
Memorial stadium in Baltimore
and his father was a fire chief, he
really was a country boy at heart.
