West Lampeter Fair 1956 Livestock Sale Lands Heavy Entries
The West Lampeter Community Fair 1956 closed with a Friday night auction of 29 FFA club swine. Donald Welk of Strasburg topped the sale at 186.65 dollars on four fattening pigs, with Kunzler & Co. Lancaster paying the 1770 bid. Ezra Martin of Lancaster bought the reserve champion pen, and Welk again led with the champion two-pig pen. The event featured numerous breed and 4-H awards amid gloomy weather and strong crowd turnout.
