York 4-H Breaks Ground
JOYCE HUPP
York Co. Correspondent
BAIR (York Co.) Despite
the hard pack of drought-dried
soil, contractor Robert Kinsley
scraped together enough loose
ground for the symbolic ground
breaking shovelful.
About 200 members, parents
and supporters of the York 4-H
program applauded Kinsley’s ef
forts, the ceremonial beginning of
a long-awaited addition to its pre
sent facilities. Groundbreaking for
the York 4-H livestock exposition
area was a highlight of the July 24
closing day of the weeklong coun
ty 4-H Fair, held at the Center, lo
cated just outside the village of
Bair.
Prior to groundbreaking. Dis
trict 94 legislator Rep. Stan Saylor
presented the 4-H exhibition area
committee with a $lO,OOO legisla
tive initiative check he had been
instrumental in obtaining for the
youth program’s building project
Also on hand was Chris Herr, rep
resenting the Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture, which
contributed a $15,000 grant to the
expansion project Those contri
butions, along with the $25,000 in
the 4-H expansion fund; represent
about a quarter of the total
$200,000 estimated cost of the fa
cility additions.
Other officials taking part in the
groundbreaking included District
93’s Rep. Michael Waugh and
York County Commissioner
George Trout Clark Craumer, for
project engineers Stallman and
Stahlman, Dover contractor Byron
Waggoner and Tom Frantz, ex
pansion committee chairman and
employee of architects Crabtree,
Rohrbaugh and Associates, also
participated.
Most of the groundbreaking
participants were former 4-H
members and several remain in
volved as leaders. Many of the
professional services of the parti
cipating firms are being donated
for the Center’s expansion.
Although final approval for
construction was granted In June
by the West Manchester Town
ship supervisors, approvals must
still clear the Department of En
vironmental Resources.
Five phases of expansion are
planned, beginning with construc
tion of a 70 feet by 144 feet pole
building for livestock events. Esti
mated cost of the pole structure is
$31,000, with actual building ex
pected to be under way by fall.
la later phases, concrete floor
ing will be poured in the livestock
pole building and an outdoor are
na constructed. A gardening area,
archery range, and exercise trail
are also in the drawings. Linger-
range plans include construction
of outdoor cattle washncks and
installing kitchen facilities in the
livestock building. Paving of the
