SMALL GRAINS - MISCELLANEOUS Class 009 A-Soybeans, Any Vanety: 1 came from Sean Casey of Lewis berry, who, for the past four years, has exhibited his award winning carvings at the Farm Show. Casey has been a professional decorative woodcarver for 10 years, but has practiced the art since childhood. Each year at the Farm Show, Casey has shown his carvings to be judged in the world woodcarving cham pionship. This past April, Casey retired from the world championship and he was asked to develop an other way to incorporate wood carving in the Farm Show. With the assistance of woodcarvers Mike and Jane Reed of Harris burg, and Secretary Sam Hayes, the first youth woodcarving con test was established. This con test hopes to draw boys and girls to woodcarving, which, accord ing to Casey, is an art typically performed by adults and seniors. Sign-ups for the competition will continue throughout the week of the Farm Show, but sub missions can also be made by mail. To sign up, send the name, address, school currently at tended, grade, and category of interest of the student to Sean Casey, 38 Alfred Drive, Lewis berry, PA 17339.
