Laurie Berot Wears Lamb
And Wool Queen Crown
LINDA WILLIAMS
Bedford Co. Correspondent
Laurie'Berot was crowned the
1994 Lamb and Wool Queen of
Bedford County at a banquet held
on Friday evening, March 18.
Laurie served as the 1993 first
runner-up to outgoing queen, Tra
cey Henderson.
With a flock of her own sheep,
Laurie has participated in all
phases of raising sheep from
showing them to shearing, to spin
ning the wool and knitting her
own sweaters.
As the new queen, she plans to
continue along the same path
already established by Tracey and
herself. “We were present at every
public function we could attend,”
Laurie said in her speech preced
ing the judging. “And, we were
delighted with the number of
questions the public asked about
sheep.”
Laurie says she enjoys cooking
lamb and has had recipes pub
lished in the Lancaster Farming.
Court for the new queen will
consist of Beth Sarver and Chrissi
Fochtman. All of the girls are stu
dents at Chestnut Ridge High
School.
“Nothing looks more profes
sional than a wool outfit,” said
Chrissi Fochtman in her contest
speech.”
The girls proved that statement
with each wearing a stunning
wool outfit. Chrissi wore a black
wool skirt with checkered wool
vest; Beth wore a beautiful emer
ald green wool with white lace
collar; and Laurie wore a pink
wool sweater and gray skirt.
In her final remarks as queen,
Tracey Henderson said she parti
cipated in seven parades, numer
ous community events, the Some
rset County Jackpot show, the
sheep to shawl contest at the State
Farm Show, and Special
Olympics.
Her favorite activities, she said,
was taking lambs to school where
she was able to begin educating
elementary children about raising
sheep.
She had a similar experience
when she took sheep to a local
nursing home.

Laurie Berot is the 1994 Lamb and Wool Queen of Bed*
ford County.

the upcoming year; Rodney Fisher
