eral hundred avid supporters of
the youth program.

donating it back for resale to the
Frederick County 4-H Activity

Sabillasville 4-H club.
Reserve grand champion mar
ket hog, owned by Middletown 4-
H’er Shawn Leatherman, brought
$2.50 per pound. The Hampshire

seven pounds. The buyer was

Inc. of Gettysburg, PA, sponsored
the “Wolfe Pig”. Jamie Hertel, a
twelve-year-old, five year mem
ber of the Rocky Ridge Progres
sives 4-H club, owned the two

This is the last year of 4-H for
Rose Hill member Dente Bras

bidding war. All proceeds from

donated to the Frederick County
Cancer Society.
Robert Dinsmore, a member
