Most unusual for the Somerset
Co. Fair was the heat and sunshine
throughout the entire week with
temperatures each day hitting
90-plus degrees, bringing misery
to both animal and human crea
tures. Generally, rain is expected
at the Somerset Co. Fair.
Thus Mowry felt justified to
confess that in neighboring Bed
ford Co. the folks say that Somer
set has two seasons winter, and
the fourth of July. He said he was
getting a different impression that
day.
Judging showmanship during
the dairy show was Bob Bender,
‘Accident, Md.
Presenting the awards and rib
bons were Stephanie Singo and
Erica Walker who are the Somer
set Co. dairy princess and dairy
maid.
