To our knowledge, the youngest exhibitor at the Elizabethtown Fair held last week
was eight-month-old Benjamin Mowrer. His two New Zealand rabbits were first and

parents Dwight and Sarah Algoe, leaders of the Mount Joy 4-H Rabbit Club. Said his
grandmother, “Our dream Is that he will keep competing through his teen-age years.”
