Rural Youth of Lancaster County Honored for Leadership
Four young leaders from Lancaster County rural groups were named Rural Youth of the Year. Dorris Sollenberger, daughter of Mr and Mrs Ivan Sollenberger, Holtwood R2, earned Future Homemakers honors. John Wiker, son of Mr and Mrs John B. Wiker, Strasburg RL, earned Future Farmers honors. 4-H representatives Linda Mumma of Manheim R3 and Glenn Porter of Washington Boro RL were named county delegates as the fund honors grew from a 1937 setup. The Rural Youth disbanded in 1953 and redirected assets into county Farm Bureau shares.
