The showman ship contest provides an opportun ity for the youth to practice show manship skills that will be needed in the ring. However, youth who did not qualify for the state youth dairy show, those not intending to show, and those without animals are also invited to participate.

Those youth without animals are welcomed to participate. All they have to do is find someone willing to lend the use of an animal for the contest. Registration and entry is free, but contestants must provide their own show harness. According to Lolly Lesher, an organizer of the PA ADS, youth are to be divided into three age groups for the contest and the winner in each is to receive a $5OO savings bond to be given in the memory of Roger T.
