Food, Farming, And Family Fun At The Fair Elizabethtown Tradition To Kick Off On Aug. 20 By Chelsea Peifer
Hummelstown resident Rachael Cassel joined 4-H as a freshman in high school and was part of the Lower Dauphin Livestock Club, which gave her the chance to show livestock at the Elizabethtown Fair. Showing pigs, dairy cattle, and beef cattle at the Elizabethtown Fair make up some of her favorite 4-H memories. “I grew up on a small farm, so I naturally gravitated toward the livestock club,� said Cassel. Going from a commercial standpoint as far as what is acceptable when selling an animal to learning what is acceptable in the show ring at the fair was a bit of an adjustment as she put meticulous effort into making sure each animal was
cleaned, fitted appropriately, and ready to - hopefully - wow the judges. “There’s a lot more that goes into it than someone might think,� noted Cassel. “It’s been challenging, but I like being able to improve. It’s amazing what one individual - especially with some of the little kids - can accomplish with the animals.� Training at 4-H and receiving encouragement from those around her helped Cassel to thrive each year at the Elizabethtown Fair. Now 20, Cassel has aged out of 4-H membership but remains involved in the organization by serving as a trained volunteer. Sale night, which occurs midweek at the Elizabethtown Fair, is one of Cassel’s favorite parts of the event as individuals and businesses come out to bid on the animals raised by the youths. This year’s Sale of Champions auction is See Elizabethtown Fair pg 6
Rachael Cassel, shown with her steer, Solomon, has been involved in showing and judging livestock at the Elizabethtown Fair for six years. The 45th annual Elizabethtown Fair will be held from Aug. 20 to 25 at the Elizabethtown Fairgrounds.
