The trip started on Friday, Jan.
5 when the schools met at Penn
Yan. Packed in two buses, the
FFA members traveled from Penn
Yan, N.Y. to Hershey, Pa. We
toured Hershey’s Chocolate
World, where we learned how
chocolate is made, and how cho
colate bars are formed. The FFA
members had an opportunity to
look at souvenirs and candy at the

In the morning, we went to the
Pennsylvania Farm Show. Here
we had the opportunity to leant
more about the state of Pennsylva
nia, the agriculture of Pennsylva
nia, and more. We saw many var
ieties of livestock, booths, exhi
bits, and Pennsylvanian food. The
FFA members had an opportunity
to see a rodeo where the Pennsyl
vania High School Rodeo Associ
ation competed.
Bob Collins, a Penn Yan FFA
member who is also a member of
the Pennsylvania High School
Rodeo Association, competed
while we were there, in the bare
back bronc riding and the bull rid
ing contests. Unfortunately he was
bucked off both times, and
received no score. Bob was also a
saddle bronc riding director.'

“The world has changed,” she

Lynette has felt that she owes a
great deal to 4-H. No doubt, that’s
behind her longevity in club lead
ership. “For a long time, I felt it
was a debt I owed,” she said.
She is a charter member of the
Somerset County 4-H Develop

“He had two worn-out horses,
worn-out harness and worn-out
equipment.” Lowell said, recall
ing his dad’s struggle to build
something from almost nothing.
The milking herd today stays at
about 56 head of Holsteins, but the
total herd, at 110, almost doubles
that figure, the dairyman said.
Their son, Jonathan, wife,
Debbie, and daughter, Paige, live
on the farm. Son Joel and his wife,
Mary, also live in Somerset
County.
Daughter Jillynn is in Kittan

Lowell showed an early inclina
tion to serve on governing bodies,
starting with the 4-H county coun
cil of which he was its second
president.
