SEPTEMBER 23, 2020

SERVING THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES SINCE 1954

VOL LVII • NO 22

Eight Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S) High School students will participate in a virtual version of the West Lampeter Community Fair queen contest at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23, which would have been the start of the 96th annual agricultural showcase. Most elements of the fair have been canceled, and the fair’s board of directors requests that spectators not attend the few events that will take place. The fair queen contest will be held in the L-S Performing Arts Center and will be closed to the public. Instead, it will be streamed live on YouTube, and the link will be posted at www.l-spioneers.org and on the L-S School District’s social media accounts. Readers may check https://westlampeter fair.com and follow @WestLampeter Fair on Instagram and Facebook for more information. The contest will open with a recording of the national anthem sung by 2019 fair queen alternate Jessica Heisey. The 2019 fair queen, Jessica Herr, will give a farewell address.
