4-H Members Will Exhibit Livestock By Marcella Peyre-Ferry they take care of the animals every
day for months or sometimes up to a year depending on what kind of animal they’re showing.” All animal clubs in the area are popular, particularly the swine club, which is expected to draw over 100 pigs to the West Lampeter Fair. Sheep also will number over 100, and cattle are popular as well. The newest club in the area to show is the goat club, which is in just its fourth year at the fair. Starting with just 11 animals entered the first year, the numbers had tripled by last year. The 4-H livestock club members devote their time to raising the animals they will display and send to auction at the fair. They spend time grooming their animals and preparing them for the show ring. That can include exercising and training so that they can be presented safely in the show rings. Record keeping is also a big part of each 4-H livestock project. Usually it is one of the least fun aspects of a livestock club project, but it teaches an important skill. The club members keep records of their animals’ progress as they grow and include a list of their expenses for feed and supplies. “I tell them, in life you’re going to have to keep records,” Welk said. To help support their efforts and the fair, the club members often contact sponsors and try to generate interest in the livestock auction. “You have to market your animal. You have to feed it, (and) you have to show it,” Welk explained. “(The children) have to keep records to know what (they) need to make money at the end. They all do marketing. They write let-

ters to (potential) buyers (to describe) their animals and what they are going to do with the money.” The fair is the culmination of a year’s work for the youngsters. After spending so much of their time with their animals, both grooming and exhibiting them, they look forward to enjoying the fair. “Even when you’re struggling and you don’t know if you want to do it or not do it, the fair changes that,” Welk said. “You come to the fair and all your friends are there, and people come through and ask you about your animal. All the kids love fair time.”

Members of local 4-H clubs contribute greatly to the events at the West Lampeter Fair. Beef and dairy cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats are all shown at the fair, with 4-H members among the exhibitors. Emily Welk is a mother of 4-H club members, a leader of the swine club, and coordinator of the livestock division. A former 4-H member herself, Welk knows firsthand the fun that young people have participating in the organization, as well as the important life lessons that they learn. “You have a lot of kids in 4-H that show animals who have parents who showed animals. (The parents) want (their children) to have that experience,” Welk said. “There’s the tradition. They make a lot of friends, they work hard,

“Where did Sleeping Beauty prick her finger?” is a question frequently heard by the members of the Lancaster Spinners and Weavers Guild (LSWG). Today’s compact and efficient spinning wheels bear little resemblance to the large walking wheels used during the time of the fairy tale’s writing. They are also much less lethal. Spinning is the art of twisting fibers together to form yarn or thread, which can then be knit, crocheted, or woven into fabric. Visitors to the West Lampeter Fair on Friday, Sept. 28, are invited to watch LSWG members ply their craft. “(West Lampeter Fair) is fun,” said LSWG co-chair Beth Sterling of Holtwood. “We’ll have a weaver and several spinners, and we’ll put a fleece out to show what raw wool looks like.” Sterling added that she would like to have a woven scarf on the loom that could be finished during the demonstration. The scarf would then be auctioned off to benefit the fair. The guild has given fiber demonstrations at the West Lampeter Fair for more than 20 years, although the group has been around for much longer. Co-chair Faye Hegener of Liberty Square in Drumore Township estimated that the guild was founded in the 1970s, if not earlier. Contrary to its name, the guild is not limited to spinning and weaving. According to the group’s website, www.lancspinweave guild.org, “The purpose of the guild is to meet and exchange ideas, to help and encourage all fiber enthusiasts in an altruistic manner to achieve the highest standards of excellence; to conduct workshops for instruction of members; to stimulate public interest in, and appreciation for the fiber arts.” Individuals with interests in spinning and weaving, as well as knitting, crocheting, felting, rug hooking, shepherding, cultivating plant fibers, traditional living, and other fiber arts are welcome. At a guild retreat in August, attendees worked on punch-needle rug hooking, knitting, crochet, sock machine knitting, weaving, and spinning projects. “This is the place to launch your interest,” Sterling wrote on the guild’s website. “You can learn the lingo, the technique, and all the infinite possibilities of the fiber arts, which will lead to a rewarding lifelong activity. And if you already are established in the fiber arts, what a great way to stay on top of the art and make new friends.” Fiber arts are also a great way to connect with history while innovating for the future. “I love history. I used to sit at my grandmother’s knee listening to stories of life in the Southern End,” Hegener recalled. “At Landis Valley (Farm Museum), I saw someone spinning … and got into

Area 4-H clubs of all kinds, including the Rough Riders Horse Club, are involved in the West Lampeter Fair. Members and their horses can be found competing against other youngsters and adults in the popular fair horse show. “It’s not an official club event, but a lot of the children do take off that day and go to the show,” said group leader Debbie Anspach. One of the Rough Rider members who has competed at the show is Darla Gehman. “I think it’s a pretty good experience,” she said. “It’s really fun. There are lots of friends, a lot of people, and lots of horses.” Fellow Rough Rider Morgan Whaley agreed. “It’s a fun show to do some classes and have some fun,” she said. Not all of the club members have horses of their own or mounts suited to enter the show, but they still attend to help fellow members with their horses and to cheer them on. “I don’t show, but I do go to watch,” club member Bailey Poorman said. Rough Riders currently has 29 members, ages 8 to 18, drawn from Solanco, Penn Manor, Lampeter-Strasburg, and Pequea Valley school districts. “We do have some horseless kids, so they may participate in helping us with pony rides or we try to find horses for them to use,” Anspach said. “Some are not able to support a horse, so they participate in ‘non-horsey’ events.” Like other 4-H clubs, the Rough Riders organize events to fit the interests of the members. “We work with whatever they would like to do,” Anspach said. “4-H is about learning and being exposed to different types of riding. Some of them like English, some of them like Western, some of them do Western Pleasure, some of them do Western racing. We have kids that like to jump and kids that just want to ride.” Activities for the club cover a wide range of interests. “We’re a very busy club,” Anspach commented. “We start with some clinics, (where) we like to teach the children how to show their horse at halter, which is typical 4-H. We (also) hold one or two riding clinics to help the children with whatever level they are at. We have some kids that know very little about horses, and we have some kids that are quite skilled.” In addition, the club participates in horse shows, trail rides, and a popular overnight campout with the horses. The entire club experience is one that children appreciate for a lifetime. “It’s a lot of fun for the kids,” Anspach remarked. “It’s a way for the kids to express their love of horses and to make friends and grow as individuals with kids that share that same love.” Participating in 4-H is often an interest that is handed down through generations. Christine Jackson never had the chance to be a 4-H member, but wanted her daughters to have that experience. “They learn responsibility, morals, ethics and get an education on caring for their animals,” she said. “I always wanted a horse, and my daughter was born with the same passion, so I made sure it happened for her. I had some friends that were in 4-H growing up and they seemed to get lifetime friendships out of it.”

Drew An Brubaker has had a busy year. In September 2011, Drew An was selected out of a pool of 17 Lampeter-Strasburg High School students as the young lady to wear the sash and tiara of the West Lampeter Community Fair Queen. In January, she received the state crown and sash from 2011 PA Fair Queen Claire Werkiser of Chester County. “I was shocked when I won our local contest, much less (that of) our whole state. It was crazy,” Drew An related. “I am beyond blessed to win just the local contest.” As a result of her win, Drew An has attended both local and state fair events, as well as Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, balancing the responsibilities with

4-H Celebrates Centennial
Law Office of Gretchen M. Curran, LLC
By Marcella Peyre-Ferry The tradition of agricultural fairs in Lancaster County has always involved young people. One organization that has long been involved in the West Lampeter Fair is 4-H. This year, the service organization is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Now America’s largest youth development organization, the ongoing goal of 4-H is to help young people and their families gain the skills they need to be productive members of their communities and to develop economically. One of the keys to 4-H is that young people learn by practical, hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom. In the late 1800s, researchers at public universities saw that adults in farming communities were not eager to adopt the new agricultural discoveries the universities were developing. On the other hand, young people were more open to new ideas. Rural youth programs were developed to introduce new practices to the youngsters, with the hope that they would then share their ideas with the adults and promote new agriculture technology in their communities. Public school education was not always well-connected to country life, but hands-on learning could tie the two together. A. B. Graham, who formed a youth program in Clark County, Ohio, in 1902, is credited with starting 4-H. The first club was called “The Tomato Club” or the “Corn Growing Club.” T.A. “Dad” Erickson of Douglas County, Minn., also started local agricultural after-school clubs and fairs in 1902. Jessie Field Shambaugh developed the clover pin with an H on each leaf in 1910, and by 1912, the gatherings began to be known as 4-H clubs. The 4-H Club concept went nationwide in 1914 when Congress created the Cooperative Extension System in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The focus was on boys’ and girls’ clubs involved with agriculture, home economics, and related subjects. From the early years, the clubs also helped children develop leadership skills, just as 4-H does today. Today, 4-H clubs are found in every state, reaching 6 million youngsters and serving far beyond the farming community. Clubs are created to meet the interests of children in rural, suburban, and urban areas. Although they take on different subjects, each club still cultivates the four Hs of the club motto: Head, Heart, Hand, and Health. “Head” stands for managing and thinking, “Heart” is for relating and caring, “Hands” is for giving and working, and “Health” is for being and living. Members explain those elements in the 4-H Pledge – “I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world.” The most familiar 4-H clubs in rural areas are focused on livestock, produce, and home economics, but there are also programs for art, photography, and all kinds of hobbies and crafts. There are also 4-H clubs covering sciences and technology, from rocketry to robotics. 4-H clubs are also very active in community service work, and projects have included raising puppies to become service dogs and doing hands-on projects for neighbors. Recent studies show clear benefits for youths who participate in 4-H. According to information on the 4-H website, www.4-H.org, club members are nearly two times more likely to get better grades in school, nearly two times more likely to plan to go to college, 41

It took me two years, and (then) a chocolate milkshake spilled all over it.” Now, Sterling enjoys knitting, crocheting, and spinning, and she also processes fleeces into fiber ready for spinning. She and Hegener are looking forward to sharing their passion for fiber arts with West Lampeter Fair visitors. “It’s for the love of the fiber,” Sterling remarked.

Spinning is so relaxing.” “I like the historical aspect of it,” Sterling agreed. “My grandmother tatted, and the little seed was planted.” Sterling’s father grew up on a farm, and he passed a passion for agrarian life on to his daughter. A former FFA member, Sterling still recalls her first three sheep, Minnie, Mandie, and Maggie, whom she showed at the Solanco and West Lampeter fairs before exhibiting and selling at the Manheim
