tion on T uesday night. Pavkov said
he danced in the contest as part of
the Campus 4-H at Penn State, and
thought it was a worthwhile activi
ty for his students. “It is a little dif
ferent emphasis. We are building
life skills, and they can enjoy
square dancing forever.”
Costumes for the dance were
purchased with money raised in
the citrus sale, and a professional
was used to help them prepare for
the event. “They are very enthu
siastic,” Pavkov said of his
students.

Landscapers, grounds keepers,
golf course superintendents and
garden center personnel should
consider attending the up-coming
Turfgrass and Grounds Mainte
nance School sponsored by Penn
Slate Cooperative Extension. The
training is scheduled for Feb. 16
and 17 at the Luzerne County
Community College.
This year’s event will involve
Extension specialists from Penn
State University and industry rep
resentatives as speakers. The
school also offers commercial
exhibits on display for particip
ants. Agricultural Agent Bill
Pencek comments, “This year’s
topics offer an array of up to date
subject matter for anyone involved
in the turfgrass or ornamental hor
ticulture profession. There will
also be Pesticide Applicator
update points awarded.”

the two chapters slay at the Hcr
shey Motor Lodge. Both chapters
contribute funds to help pay the
cost of the trip, but students also
must pay part of the expenses.
Besides a citrus sale, the chapter
also sells cider and raffle tickets
for an FFA beef purchased by their
local bank.
To select students, Pavkov
chooses those who are receiving
the Keystone Fanner degree and
those who are members of the
square dance team. He fills out the
rosier with students who have
demonstrated a commitment to the
group and have shown a willing
ness to work. He said, “They must
... Even Better Than The
meet academic requirements, and
they must promise to do all the
work they miss. They must be a
worker and be part of the group.
Kerry Duncan, one of two advi
sors for the Fort Leßoef group says
they have been making the four
day trip quite a few years, and they
feel it is an educational experience
for the students. “They get to see
the Farm Show, which is the best
of Pennsylvania agriculture, and
they go to the FFA meeting. We
think it gives the younger members
incentive to sec those who have
achieved.”
In addition, both groups toured
the Capitol Building and visited
the William Penn Museum while
in Harrisburg. For those FFA
groups, a trip to the Farm Show is
much more than animals and farm
equipment.
