CONNOQUENESSING TWP — Two young girls will have the opportunity to represent the Butler Farm Show, one as Little Miss Butler Farm Show and one as Little Miss 4-H Butler Farm Show.

They will represent the Farm Show at the show and at other events throughout the year.

Project coordinator Judy Kennedy encourages girls between the ages of 8 and 10 to participate.

“It's not a beauty pageant,” Kennedy said.

All contestants must submit a 14- x 22-inch poster under the theme of “What I Like Best about the Butler Farm Show.”

The contestants will then go on stage to “show and tell” about their posters.

The deadline to submit an entry is Monday. There will be a mandatory meeting of all contestants on Aug. 2 under the entertainment pavilion on the farm show grounds.

The contest is to give young girls the opportunity to learn more about agriculture and the importance of volunteerism.

For information, contestants can contact Judy Kennedy at 724-625-1977.
