all breeds in the 1995 Lebanon
Area Fair youth dairy shows.
The youth dairy shows were
held Tuesday morning in the large,
airy show bam at the Lebanon
Area Fairgrounds, along with the
open division shows for the col
ored breeds of dairy cattle.
Because of the size of the dairy
shows at the week-long Lebanon
Fair, the youth and colored breed
shows are held early in the week
and then moved out to make room
for incoming Holsteins for the
Fair’s open Holstein show.
That was to have been held Fri
day, after presstime, and early esti
mates were that, depending on the
heat, entries should have recov
ered from last year’s lower turnout
caused mostly because of caution
with regard to bovine virus diar
rhea. (As was the case with almost
every dairy show.)

supreme champion was Creedin
Commas, of Carlisle. He judged
the youth Holstein shows. Judge
for the colored breed shows, open
and youth, was Bill Schnebly, of
Clear Spring, Md.
The Mase family had reason to
celebrate with two big wins. Not
only did Alicia’s cow win its 4-H
breed grand championship and the
overall supreme title, but her father
Gary Mase showed the grand
champion Brown Swiss of the
open division competition.

father’s open division grand
champion of the breed, Meadow
Hill Jade Alison-£T, also a senior
3-year-old. Their dam is Meadow
Hill Titan Agatha and the sire is

Alicia’s younger brother
showed the 4-H reserve grand
champion in the breed, a senior
2-year-old, Meadow-Hill Noren
Dally.
It was the first supreme title for
the Mase family, though they have
had many champions over the
years.
The Lebanon Area Fair is also
unique in that is offers a type of tot
al performance competition for the
youth.
Called the best-bred and owned
competition, contestants are
scored on a point system that is
based on the quality of the youth’s
owned and bred animal, showman
ship, fitting, and the youth’s pro
ject book.
For a second year, the winner
was Allison Martin, of Lebanon,
who couldn’t be present for the
showing of her animal in the event
because she had to attend an even
ing college course at Franklin and
Marshall College in Lancaster
where she is pursuing a-degree in
education.
The competition actually
rewards the first three place win
ners with savings bond awards
provided by Lebanon Agway.
