A2B-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 29, 1992 Sisters Grab Show Swine Cham ANDY ANDREWS Lancaster Farming Staff ELIZABETHTOWN (Lancas ter Co.) You know the saying, “once in a blue moon.” As in. “once in a blue moon, one family can sweep a showman ship championship.” Or, “once in a blue moon, a record number of hogs will be shown at the Elizabethtown Fair.” Well, the moon may not have been blue, but some happy sur prises took place at the fair late Tuesday evening, when the Becker family Amy, Melissa, and Karen—won first place in each of the showmanship divisions at the hog show. The event is capped by the fact that this is the eldest Becker’s (Karen, 18, daughterof Marlin and Nancy Becker) last year in 4-H. Karen, the Lancaster County 4-H swine showmanship champion this year, will be showing hogs for the last time at the Manheim Farm Show in October. Judge Cheryl Fairbaim, Chester County livestock agent, said she didn’t know the winners were sis ters, and was surprised. But she commented on the excellent eye contact and marveled at “the intensity of the kids. They’re really into it, they really want to win.” For the record number of hogs shown (149), a first-time market hog championship went to Kevin Pfautz, for his 246-pound Class 2 heavyweight Hampshire cross gilt. Kevin, 10, son of Rick and Sue P r Sarah Boyd, 11, right, showed the reserve grand champ ion 246-pound hog. Cheryl Fairbalrn, Chester County agent, judged the show.
