Lehigh Holds
Mini Farm Show
NEW TRIPOLI (Lehigh Co.) —
More than 5,000 people attended
the weekend celebration of the
Lehigh County Mini Farm Show
held at Trexlertown Mall recently.
Kick-off of the event,
sponsored by the Lehigh
County Farm Bureau,
was a giant ice cream
sundae made by Turkey
Hill Farm. The master
piece contained 126 gal
lons of ice cream, 5 gal
lons chocolate syrup, S
gallons strawberries,
and 20 pounds of
pecans. More than 2,600
ample servings were
dished in less than two
hours.
The mall was filled to
capacity with agricul
ture exhibits, displays,
and demonstrations.
Four-H club members
operated a petting zoo
with 20 animals and dis
played food and clo
thing projects. They
also sold homebaked
projects.
The Old Time Plow
Boys displayed old trac
tors and equipment and
sold farm toys. The
Antique Engine, Trac
tor, and Toy Club dis
played hit and miss
engines and other anti
que items. 1
Quilting, spinning {
and weaving were
demonstrated by several I
community groups.
Other events included
a square dance, a fash
ion show, line dancing,
and contests for
children.
To assist in funding
the event, about $2,000
was raised through a
Friday night auction
featuring donated items
from farmers, agri
businesses, and mall
merchants. Chances for
a quilt were sold.
Educational exhibits
included one of a market
basket of items.
Viewers were asked to
guess how much money
a farmer received from
the $4O charged by
supermarkets for the
items. The person with
the closest guess won
the food.
Food samples were handed out
by Hatfield Quality Meats, Alder
fer Meats, Kuntzler and Leidy,
Beatrice, Atlantic Dairy Coopera
tive, and Weis Markets.
When the Pa. Farm Bureau
women’s committee planned the
show, they concentrated on edu
cating non-farm consumers.
