Granberry finds promoting Polled
Herefords a natural and important
activity. Seven years ago she
began raising and showing 4-H

If everything goes according to
plan today, April 4, it should be a
bright sunny day with birds
singing and flowers blooming. Of
course if it doesn’t turn out that
way, we will make the best of what
we have.
Vojj spp today our daughter is
being married in Donegal
Presbyterian Church to a young
man from Atlanta, Ga. After the
wedding, I will have no children
living within an hour’s drive of •
home and I’ll really miss her
visits.
It was going to be a small
wedding. I’m not sure that there is
such a thing, but our older
daughter came close to it as the
reception was here in our home
after the church ceremony.
However, Judy has been making
plans for over six months. A florist
is forcing tulips to fill eight large
baskets and arrangements for
bouquets became quite com
plicated.
She has had her pictures taken in
her beautiful satin, beaded and
lace gown and to me she looks like
a princess. A carriage has been
hired to take the couple to the
reception hall and it will be quite
an affair.
People are expected from all
parts of the United States and
some will be staying at our house.
It certainly will be a busy time. In
the evening I’ll have a buffet
supper here for the groom’s family
who live in Nebraska.

“I know and like the breed,”
says Anne, “and so as Polled
Hereford Queen I’m able to
promote it. I also believe in the
beef industry, in general,” she
added. “Beef is an important
product and I want to show others
why I feel this way.”
As a second-semester freshman
at P*>nn state the Zelienople native
often finds it difficult to juggle
classes and her schedule as Polled
Hereford spokesman. “My
teachers have been un
derstanding,” she reports, “but
it’s always hard.” And as she said
last week at the Performance-
Tested Bull Sale, “I’ve got exams
coming up next week, but it’s
important to be here at this sale,
too.”
Anne’s position as Penn
sylvania’s Polled Hereford Queen
takes her to shows throughout the
country. This past year she
promoted Pennsylvania herds at
the Eastern Regional Junior
Heifer Show in Winston-Salem, the
Junior Nationals in Tulsa and at
the National Polled Hereford Show
in Jackson, Miss.
