Correspondent BEDFORD (Bedford Co.) —The excitement mounts, as the Bedford County Fair Junior Livestock Sale time draws closer. Lamb producers fill the air with the smell of grilling lamb samples, pork producers provide the unmis takable scent of hot dogs with sauerkraut, and beef farmers rustle up barbecue sandwiches. A new arena allowed this year’s sale to be more pleasant than ever. Gone were the trapped smells, the unbelievable*noise, and the impassable seating arrangements. In place of all these atrocities was the new open, airy show and sale arena paid for by a host of donations and grants. SOm eof the $127,772 raised by the sale was turned back over to the building fund by generous purchasers through resale of the animals.

After a summer of leading the lamb around by the neck Kyler was in no mood to let her go to market He cried, he offered to pay his sister his only $5, and he pray ed that somehow God might work a miracle to save Blackie. Meanwhile, his mother had two co-workers working overtime try ing to find some benevolent buyer to give “Blackie” back to Kyler. One of them was Bill Popovitek, Farm Bureau Manager. The bidding started fast and fur ious. It was over in a few minutes. Tears were streaming down the cheeks of Kyler and Krista’s mother. Kyler buried his face in his mother’s neck. The auction eer’s gavel struck at $4.25. It wasn’t eighter of the two sought buyers who had the win ning bid. Instead it was a great uncle of Kyler’s.. Roy Kegg, who works for United Telephone and owns real estate around Bedford. He hadn’t known anything about Kyler’s attachment to “Blackie.” When he heard the story, he quickly gave the lamb to Kyler explaining that he hadn’t really wanted it in die first place. “I just wanted to help my kin folk get a good price for the lamb,” he smiled. It was a “happy ending” kind of story. Kyler was beaming, Krista Grand champion market lamb owned by Andy Blackburn sold to Dean Lemley.

Jimmy Wilkins had suffered an attack of appendicities several days prior to the sale. It took a lot of pleading with his doctor, James Vreeland, to allow him to go to the sale. Someone else showed his 123 pound lamb. It was purchased by, who else? Dr. Vreeland himself. Summer Lingenfelter was cry ing as she entered the ring with her 123 pound, first year, lamb. Dean Lemley saw the tears, purchased the animal for $1.90 and gave it back to the little girl. Accountant Ben Kendall says he went far over budget buying more animals than he knows what to do with. “If I see a kid not get ting a good bid, 1 have to run the price up,” he says. “I just like to make them happy.” Dr. Mark Finder and State Rep resentative Dick Hess each bought a pig for the Bedford County Heart Association to have a pig roast on September 17.
