Adams County English Walnuts Judged
Grand Champion Of Edible Nuts Show
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.
) With a smile on his face.
Judge Ken Bauman of New Car
lisle, Ohio, answers the question
of what exactly a judge is looking
for when challenged with a myri
ad of entries in this year’s edible
nut competition: “We’re looking
for good nuts!” That’s exactly
what Judge Bauman found when
he was presented with Chelsea
Cool’s Persian (English) walnut
entry. Chelsea, a resident of Big
lerville, Adams County, was
graced with a Grand Champion
of Show Award plaque for her
notable exhibit.
As simple as this statement
may be, it took a whole lot of
"Rockspring Vin Daffy Dandelion,” an 8-year-old
Lamancha, was named supreme champion dairy goat at
the Farm Show. She Is owned by Ann Weikel of Blairs
Mills, Huntingdon County. Pictured here with Dandelion is
Richard Stoneback, exhibitor.

teamwork to crack through this
year’s participant entries. Assist
ants to the judge would break ap
proximately three nuts from each
submission and evaluate a few es
sential characteristics like how
well the nuts crack and come
apart, how well the meat comes
out in halves and quarters, the
size of the meat, and the colora
tion. To simplify, Judge Bauman
states that usually, “bigger is bet
ter” and the lighter the coloration
of the nutmeat, the more desira
ble the flavor.
With over 18 classes, and as
many as 11 subclasses, the judges
evaluated mostly using just visual
observations. Top selections are
as follows:
