QUARRYVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) Lancaster County held its
annual 4-H dairy show Wednesday
at the Solanco Fairgrounds in
Quanyville.
The show is a qualifying event
for Lancaster County 4-H youth
who intend to attend state youth
district dairy shows.
The state district shows arc
qualifying events for the Sept. 21
Pennsylvania Junior Dairy Show,
held in conjunction with the Pen
nsylvania All American Dairy
Show. The state Junior Dairy
Show makes no distinction
between 4-H or FFA membership.
Lancaster's 4-H qualifier sepa
rates it from other coundes that do
not hold such pre-district level
screening comped dons.
Since the state show makes no
disdncdon between 4-H and FFA,
and youth across the state are eligi
ble to pardcipate in any district
show across the state, the use of the
Lancaster County 4-H qualifying
event is stricdy of local benefit.
Youth qualify for the state show
when an animal they show is
judged to have received a blue rib
bon. No matter what the placing in
an animal age class, if the judge
awards a blue ribbon, the animal,
and thus the exhibitor qualifies for
the state junior dairy show.
On Wednesday, there was one
Ayrshire exhibited, Honey-Brook
JaJan Riches, a junior 2-year-old,
owned by Thomas Spring of
Quanyville.
