just for the showmanship contest,
it must meet and have proof of the

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. Green, longtime friend of
the dairy industry. The bonds were
donated by the Centre County
Holstein Club.
Other prizes include a set of
cattle clippers donated by Richard
Mellinger, and a director’s chair
donated by Scoltdale Supply.
The three age groups are to be:
juniors, ages 8-11; intermediates,
