812-Lancaster : arml Christiana Keener Promotes Lamb Products CHAMBERSBURG Christ iana Keener of Chambersburg was crowned 1988 Franklin County Lamb and Wool Queen August 27 at the Franklin County Extension Office. Christiana, 16, is the daughter of Mark and Elisabeth Keener. Kelly Boyd, 14, was selected as Princess. She is the daughter of Gary and Donna Boyd, Chambersburg. The four contestants had to answer several questions about the lamb and wool industry asked by emcee Scott Smith. When asked what she would call someone who thinks lamb tastes and smells terri ble, Christiana replied that the offending meat was probably grass-fed Australian mutton. American lamb is grain-fed, she noted. “Our job is to teach people what American lamb tastes like,” she added. She was also asked about the advantages of buying a sweater made of real wool rather than a less expensive one made of synthetics. “A wool sweater will stay pretty,” she said, “while the synthetic will fade. A wool sweater is a good investment it will last a lifetime.” The goals of the American Sheep Producers Council, Christ iana told the audience, are to prom ote lamb and wool through posters, radio, and magazines, and to pro vide profitability for the farmers. Christiana is a junior at Cham bersburg Area Senior High School where she is enrolled in the accelerated college preparatory program. She is a member of the Franklin County 4-H Shepherds and the 4-H Nimble Spindles.

Frank Faust Junior High School in the college prepar atory program. She is a member of the Franklin County 4-H She pherds and the Franklin County Seeing Eye Puppy Club. She recently took part in a Seeing Eye puppy demonstration at Penn State, where she won a blue ribbon. Kelly gave the audience some suggestions on using cuts from the front of the lamb. Cubes can be used for slush kabobs, she said, ground lamb can be used to make lamb-burgers, and shoulder cuts can be roasted. Advantages of a wool sweater over a synthetic, according to Kel ly are: wool is cool in summer and warm in winter, is naturally fire resistant and water repellant, and holds dye well. Christiana and Kelly were crowned by Heather Fusting, 1987 Franklin County Lamb and Wool Queen. During her reign. Heather attended banquets with other com modity queens, rode in a Fourth of July parade, and handed out sample of lamb at the Franklin County Fair.
