Harrop Named National Petite Miss Agriculture
Exton youngster Ellie Harrop was recently named the 2021 National Petite Miss Agriculture USA.
Miss Agriculture USA is a national nonprofit organization that focuses on positively promoting agriculture featuring queens of all ages who promote, celebrate and educate about all the diverse aspects of agriculture.
Ellie is the 8-year-old daughter of Paul and Melissa Harrop, the 2021 Pennsylvania Elite Ms. Agriculture USA. She attends Collegium Charter School and will enter the third grade this fall. Ellie and her family grow corn, soybeans, hay and cover crops on the family farm, as well as raise dairy beef. They sell beef products direct to consumers.
Ellie’s agricultural interests include dairy cows, market goats, rabbits and horses. She is also a member of Chester Valley 4-H Dairy Club and 4-H Sewing Club.
Ellie was the 2021 Chester County Petite Miss Agriculture USA and virtually competed and won the Pennsylvania Petite Miss Agriculture USA title in March.

Therapy dogs are also utilized in businesses and in courtroom settings to help people relax during stressful situations. To learn more about Wesley, visit www.facebook.com /wesleytherapydog.
Young APL patron Piper Pine was on hand to present a jar full of dog bones to Wesley. As part of a library contest, children were asked to guess how many treats were in a jar. When Piper won the contest, she decided to donate them.
Dr. Jen Morris from Pine Creek Animal Hospital, along with her husband, Christopher, brought their Great Danes, Cyrus, Brisket and Turducken, to the Pet Fair. Visitors were invited to pet the dogs, including the largest of the group, Cyrus, who weighs 200 pounds. Jen reported that Cyrus eats 12 cups of food a day and sleeps in an orthopedic dog bed. The other dogs sleep in toddler beds.
Lucky Dawg Animal Rescue brought several kittens and puppies, which are available for adoption, to the Pet Fair. Lucky Dawg is no-kill, fosterbased, all-volunteer animal rescue that is dedicated to rescuing homeless, abused or unwanted animals. To view a list of available cats and dogs and to complete an adoption application, visit www.lucky dawganimalrescue.com.
April Kenworthy-Brade from Parkesburg Area TNR was available to talk about the organization, which is composed of volunteers committed to getting the stray cat population under control by utilizing the TNR method. She explained that once the feral cats are trapped, neutered and vaccinated, they are returned to their home environment. Kittens are put into foster care until they can be adopted. To learn more, visit www.facebook.com/Team ParTNR.
With the help of Robbyn Kehoe, library director, children who visited the Pet Fair were able to sign up for the library’s Summer Reading Program. Karen’s Pet Clips was also on-site to offer reduced-rate nail clipping.
