or a welcome, to a turning point in
Tioga County in my life,” she
continued.
Fitch went on to thank everyone
who made her year a special one,
especially her parents, to whom
she said, “I’m a proud farmer’s
daughter!”
Although she’s giving up her
Tioga County crown, Fitch will
continue her reign as the second
alternate Pennsylvania Dairy Prin
cess until September.
