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.

Princess Kelly Boyd is a ninth
grader at J. 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. She also took a lamb
to the Waterwheel Day Care to
teach the children about lamb and
wool products. At five local senior
centers she made speeches and
gave out samples of lamb and
wool. Heather is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Fusting, St.
Thomas.
The contest was open to any girl
in Franklin County who has a 4-H
or FFA lamb or wool project, or
whose parents are involved in any
manner with the lamb and wool
