QUARRYVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) Once upon a time (only a
year ago, actually), Allison Hugh
es won champion and her Mend
Tiffany Dean took home reserve of
.the market lamb show at Solanco
Fair.
A year later, this time on Wed
nesday afternoon, they reversed
roles, with Tiffany taking home
champion and Allison the reserve.
Tiffany, 13, daughter of Gary
and Joan Dean, Strasburg, showed
her wether, Lieberthal (named in
honor of Phillies baseball catcher
Mike Lieberthal) to grand champ
ion market lamb.
Tiffany, in the seventh grade at
Martin Meylin School, exhibited
the 126-pound champion from the
light heavyweight division. The
4-H Woolies and swine club mem
ber has won previously at the fair.
Tiffany walks her lambs every
other day for about a half hour. She
plans to show at West Lampeter
Community Farm Show and the
state Farm Show.
Tiffany picked out the champ
ion from Danny Scblicter,
Washington Courthouse, Ohio,
through a sale conducted by Tim
Fleener, Lebanon County, accord
ing to Tiffany’s father, Gary.
Allison Hughes paraded her
123-pound reserve champion, the
reserve of the light heavyweight
show, at Solanco. Allison, 13, is
the daughter of Chet and Marie
Hughes, Lancaster.
The Martin Meylin School
eighth grader showed her wether.
Will, to reserve. The lamb was
named in honor of Will from the
“Will and Grace" TV show, Alli
son's favorite.
Allison had help from her
father, Chet, when they selected

QUARRYVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) Since she was two months
old, the show ring for Rebecca
Nolan has been a romper room
sort of.
Since she was at least three
years old, Rebecca has been show
ing daily cattle in the ring. In so
short of a time, watching her fami
ly show animals at Solanco and
other fairs has been her classroom.
Rebecca, 14, daughter of Sharon
and Rob Nolan, Cochranville, took
her veteran experience with her to
the Solanco Fair Wednesday.
Rebecca, Manor Dairy 4-H’er,
paraded her Ayrshire cow Ola
(S&M Ayr Its Ola), a 5-Year-Old,
to champion of the largest division
of dairy animals in the ring 32
during the colored breeds
competition.
The Nolan family recently
returned from the Florida State
Fair, said Rebecca. Rebecca, in the
ninth grade at Octorara High
School, feeds and exercises Ola (S:
Maple Dell Chads IRS and bred by
Mike S. Zook) regularly.
Rebecca has gone to several
fairs this season, including Kim
berton and Goshen. Upcoming are
several more, including All
American next week and the
Unionville Fair.
But the family shows “all over
the country,” said Rebecca, includ
ing Kentucky, Wisconsin, and
other places.
The secret to success in the ring,
according to Rebecca, is not to
Solanco Grand Market Cha
the lamb from Don Witt, Champ
ion, Fayette County. Allison said
she walks the sale lamb every other
day for about a half hour.
Allison will be showing at Lam
peter and, perhaps, at state Farm
Show.
Show judge was Lee Wagner,
Easton. Wagner, a Dorset breeder
and flock manager of Sunrise Farm
Dorsets, emphasized the market is
looking for good frame size and
muscle pattern. Wagner, who was
livestock superintendent for Dela
ware Valley College, said the lamb
must have style yet with a balanced
profile in addition to meat and
muscle.
There were 73 market lambs and
41 exhibitors. Following is a list of
show placings.
