Samantha Adams, daughter of
Kathy and Sam Adams of U.S.
Route 220, Bedford, was one of
the more then 20 Bedford County
Farm Show participants.
For Samantha, it was a first
time experience, and one she had
been looking forward to all year.
Lucky enough to live near 4-H
leader Ada Myers, and drawing
on the experience of the whole
sheep and goat raising Myers
family, has sparked Samantha’s
interest from the start of her ani
mal showing experiences.
With three goats and two
lambs of her own, Samantha has
participated in the Bedford Fair
as well as Jackpot shows at Som
erset, Indiana, and Bedford coun
ties.
In 2001, Samantha took first
place in showmanship and fitting
with her goat and first place in
showmanship with her lamb at
the Bedford Fair.
She also showed the reserve
champion goat that year.
This year she planned to show
both her goat, Vanilla, and her
lamb, Hercules, at the Farm
Show. However, one week before
the Farm Show, Vanilla lost all of
his milk teeth which disqualified
it.
Hercules came home with a
third place. Samantha showed
goats for Scott Myers at the Farm
Show and brought him two fifth
places.
