booth’s menu.
The public’s growing taste for
batter-dipped vegetables, and the
expansion of the commodity food
area at the Farm Show, prompted
the Association to enlarge their
food booth to accommodate this
new menu selection. Fresh broc
coli, cauliflower, zucchini and
onion rings will be used to prepare
this treat that offers a tasty new
way to enjoy vegetables. Be sure
to stop at the vegetable growers
booth in the new Food Court in the
East Building of the Farm Show.
Profits from the booth, which is
staffed by volunteer members of
the Association, will be partially
used to fund vegetable research at
Penn State University.

from commercial
structures such as

The holidays are over and again
we’ve taken our share of pictures.
It seems most families own a cam
era or two and if there are children
in the family then they use them a
lot A new baby helps the film
companies show a profit.
My children often get dupli
cates and this way I accumulate
many photos. Some day this wint
er I am definitely going to put
them in an album. The camel-back
trunk is full of pictures that bring
back memories of years past.
As the children grew up, we
began to send their pictures as
Christmas cards. Therefore, I have
almost 30 years of cards starting
with our first baby girl and ending
with the six children in a group
after her wedding. It is a pleasure
to share these pictures with new
family members.
Recently I came across a copy
of an old picture. It was taken in
the 1880 s and shows my grand
father and his brothers, sisters and
parents standing in front of their

stone farmhouse. My husband has
a picture taken in the same period,
which shows his extended family
in a field in front of their farm
buildings. The men are standing in
a Conestoga wagon and a young
boy is off to one side holding a
favorite white horse.
I don’t need to go back to the
1800 s to appreciate old pictures.
Even those of my youth are inter
esting as they show our family in a
row boat on the river that flows by
our meadow. Another shows me
and my shepherd dog, Rover, and
my doll, Anna Louise. There is
also one of my Grandmother
Landis in a big sunbonnet holding
me when I was a baby.
The trick is to keep all of these
pictures in order so that you can
find the one that you want. I do
have big envelopes for each year
with our children’s pictures in
them. This way I can send them
photos of themselves when their
children reach the same age. This
is fun for me and for them.
