the winner of the contest was

The Pennsylvania State County

claimed her the honor that was due
her. Alternate Harford Fair Queen
was Rebecca Lopatofsky, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Lo
patofsky of Uniondale.
To qualify for the prestigious
position, the candidates submitted
a written essay focusing on their
special interest. Each candidate
must undergo an extensive inter
view by the judges, who consider
each girl’s poise, appearance, and
her ability to communicate. The
final consideration is in a public
forum, where each candidate must
give a two- to three-minute talk on
die subject, “Why You Should
Come To My Fair.” Following
this, each contestant draws a ran
dom question which must be an
swered off-the-cuff, and the judg
es consider these answers as a part
of the overall qualifications. It is
also important that the successful
Queen and her Alternate have
knowledge of agriculture and of
the Susquehanna County area.
Judges for the competition were
Cheryl Muraski, the Pennsylvania
State County Fair Queen; Michael
