alternative finding popularity in
the York area, and Martha sees it
as a way to preserve, while
developing outside interest in, the
uniqueness of the county.
“We have wineries, craft and
antique shops, beautiful scenery
for photography, interest for
history buffs, good restaurants and
are centrally located for regional
sites of interest,” she notes. “And
everyone loves to visit downtown
Central Market.”
To help their customers better
enjoy the area, the Laus offer local
tourist information in the shop, and
Wholesaling is now a major portion of the business. As the
Laus consider expanding toward more national product
exposure, Martha spends an increasing amount of time
visiting with customers over the phone.

An annual Country Spun Farm
Fall Festival, held last weekend,
draws visitors from both the
community and more distant
cities. The festival is an extension
of Country Spun’s participation
four years ago in a county farm
tour.
After they so much enjoyed
sharing their shepherd and wool
enthusiasm with hundreds of tour
guests, Martha and Greg opted to
make their “open house” a regular
event. In addition to the attractions
of the flock and the retailing shop,

they schedule extras such as
shearing, sheepdog herding,
spinning, weaving and felting
demonstrations, barbequed lamb
sandwiches, and live country
music entertainment.
While customers, visitors, and
the local tourist industry may all
reap some benefits from the
growing success of a formerly
frustrated farm wife and
homemaker, Martha sees one of
the greatest benefits of Country
Spun in her own and her family’s
renewed outlooks on life.
She acknowledges having
developed greater levels of con
fidence and assertiveness in her
own personality and in dealings
with business associates and
customers.
“Greg calls it the ‘new woman’,”
Martha chuckles. “We’ve learned
to appreciate York County from
the eyes of our visitors; we’ve
studied architecture, history, tried
new foods, visited new places and
picked up new ideas. We’ve
learned how things are done
elsewhere.”

Extension Offers Tips On Child Care'
NEWARK, Del. - Working
parents seeking quality after
school care should read “A
Parent’s Guide to Choosing Day
Care for School Age Children,”
offered by the Delaware
Cooperative Extension System.
A double-sided fact sheet
prepared by Dr. Patricia Tanner
Nelson, University of Delaware
extension family specialist, the
guide lists items to look for when
searching for warm, friendly and
flexible caregivers and suggests
questions to ask when examining
the building and programs offered
“Good care is based on the
mutual respect of parents and care
providers, open communication
and a shared commitment to the
well-being of the children,” Nelson
says. She advises parents to visit
several centers with their children
before making a choice and
suggests visiting when the center
is open and full of children.
To obtain a copy of the guide,
contact the extension office in
Newark (451-2538), Wilmington
(571-2284), Dover (736-1448) or
Georgetown (856-7303).
