Interested in purchasing a baby
hedgehog?
Then the Lancaster County 4-H
Annual Benefit Auction to be held
at the Farm and Home Center on
Saturday, Feb. 15, is the place to
go-
lf the hedgehog doesn’t entice
you to attend this fun-filled auc
tion, there are plenty of other
unusual items to pique your inter
est. How about some emu meat or
perhaps some rhea meat? How
about bidding on an airplane ride?
Maybe you’re faint of heart and
wary of sinking your dollars into
the unusual. Don’t despair. The
benefit auction at 1383 Arcadia
Road (just off Route 72) in Lancas
ter has plenty for the traditional
auction goer. Cookbooks, tools,
restaurant certificates, Winross
trucks, toys, wall hangings and a
quilt are a few of the traditional
offerings. Of course, plenty of
food will be available throughout
the sale that starts at 9:30 a.m.
The annual auction is the place
for 4-H’ers to get set for the
upcoming show year. They can
purchase top quality show lambs
