Unionville Community Fair & Farm Show 2016 Edition by Ad Pro Inc.

SEPTEMBER 30 - October 2, 2016

Welcome to the 92nd Annual Unionville Community Fair & Farm Show

This year I began my first year serving as Fair President, an honored position which I do not take lightly. I owe a great deal of thanks to the fair board and copious number of volunteers and community members that have helped me during this transition. Without all of you, this fair would not be able to thrive as it continues to this year. “Service before self” is a life lesson instilled in my husband and myself since I became a part of the Deckman family 17 years ago, the same year that the fair was dedicated to our grandparents, Fred & Laura.

We Have Good Things Growing! Our theme for 2016, chosen by the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs (PSACF) certainly fits our path as we continue on our path of re-vitalizing our fair and carrying it into its 100-year anniversary. In order to get there, the board has re-structured in an effort to encompass a multi-generational approach, with the goal of adding new and exciting vendors and entertainment that will appeal to our younger fair goers, while maintaining our agricultural roots.

Notable additions this year is the famous Punkin Chunkin, which was rained out last year. We are also very excited to secure a “tiny home” to be displayed on site. Fair goers are encouraged to visit inside the home and learn more about sustainable living. Food trucks and various vendors will line the fair to deliver some delicious edibles. Denim & Diamonds will again be the kick-off of this years’ festivities, so put on your best pair of jeans, boots, and anything shiny to join us for a chance to win some fabulous jewelry for you, or someone special in your family!

I am excited to be on the fairgrounds all three days this year, so please, stop by and introduce yourself! I hope you all enjoy joining us this year and celebrating our small town. Be sure to come out and see that We Have Good Things Growing!

Deborah A. Deckman, President

Many thanks to all of our sponsors and patrons who make the Unionville Community Fair and the Willowdale Pro Rodeo possible. And to all of you who support the Fair through your volunteerism, there would be no Fair to celebrate without all of you!

These charts give an idea of where the money comes from and where it goes. As shown in the chart, the majority of the money is spent on putting the Fair on – facilities and operating costs. This includes everything from the tent, table and chair rentals, the pretty ribbons, the premiums, computer needs, and electricity to the porta-potties and more.

The 3 biggest sources of income are the donations from Sponsors and patrons, the concessions (craft, food and commercial vendors) and the rodeo.

The Fair is a 501(c)3 corporation and is run entirely by hundreds of volunteers, including a 14 person Executive Board.

Beneficiaries of the Fair are the Kennett Area Community Service and the Po-Mar-Lin and Longwood Fire Companies. The Unionville Fair also supports the Unionville Community Scholarship Fund.

Each car will receive a colored hang tag good for that day, so that a family may come and go as needed. Please follow parking signs and parking directors as to where to park. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to do our best to maintain costs while preserving the integrity or the Fair. Thank you for your support!

Thank you to the Community “We Have Good Things Growing”

This page is usually for the Dedication to someone that has done much for the Fair, many times behind the scenes.

For 2016, this space is for the many special people that stepped up to ensure that the Unionville Community Fair and Farm Show will continue on and look forward to its 100th Anniversary.

As of the first of this year, there were no prospects for the positions of President and Treasurer, two offices that could not go unfilled. Through many ways of reaching out to the extended communities, via Facebook, websites, emails, messages in the local papers, the word was spread that the Fair was indeed in trouble and that if these positions were not filled by February 29, 2016, the Fair would have to close down.

A last ditch effort was a meeting set for February 17th held at the Willowdale Chapel, with the hopes that the Fair would survive. Shortly before that meeting took place, two folks contacted outgoing President Danielle Chamberlain – one said she would be interested in the President position and one for Treasurer. At the meeting we had more folks offering to help with parking, website, volunteers, catalog and many other areas.

The number of people that attended that meeting showed what a huge impact the Fair has on the community in general and the love of traditions like the Fair.

Our new President, Deb Deckman lives in West Grove, but comes from a family long involved with the Fair. Grandmother Laura Case Deckman was the “Harvest Queen” in 1940 and Aunt Shirley Deckman Corkran in 1961. Both Grandmom Laura and Grandpop Fred worked as a team selling ads for the catalogs for many years and Fred designed and was in charge of selling the Match Box Fair trucks.

Treasurer, Jeff Lewis is much newer to the area, but once he and his family visited the Fair the first year they moved here, they were hooked. Rather than stand by and let the Fair fade away he knew he had to do something to preserve this wonderful tradition for his children and all the families that love the Fair.

For the first time, the Fair has hired a Fair Manager, Pam Eppinger, to help the elected volunteer officers lighten their load and to make the positions less daunting for future officers, thus avoiding the worry that we had the winter of 2016. There are many others that have assumed larger jobs to keep the Fair running smoothly, yes there will be glitches along the way, this is a learning year for many of these people. With the continued work of the loyal volunteers already doing their jobs, supporting the new officers and directors, the Fair will go on as always and be a fun time for the whole extended community.

The 92nd Unionville Community Fair & Farm Show

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer

The Unionville Community Fair & Farm Show will feature plenty of new attractions to complement the family-friendly favorites that bring visitors back year after year as organizers look to increase the event’s appeal to a wider audience.

Deborah Deckman, the first-year fair president, said that she can’t wait to see how some of the new additions are received during the fair, which takes place between Sept. 30 and Oct. 2.

“I’m very excited,” Deckman said. “I’m hoping that, with the new events, everything goes over well. We’re changing a lot of things, and it should be interesting to see it all comes together.”

day is a busy one as exhibitors continue to set up and the judging on many of the entries begins. The eighth annual Denim and Diamonds Dinner and Fundraiser, an elegant opening event for the fair, takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Food vendors will begin setting up at 8 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 30 and the fair officially opens to the public at 9 a.m. with the usual array of family-friendly activities and attractions for all ages.

This fair features the largest display of agricultural products in Chester County, and agriculture will continue to be the focal point even as some new attractions are added. “We have good things growing” is the theme for the 92nd edition of the fair.

It takes months of work for the organizers to plan the event. While the fair doesn’t open to the public until Sept. 30, exhibitors will start registering at the Red Exhibit Barn from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 28. The next

Deckman said that they are bringing in food trucks this year, just one of the many new offerings.

There will be demonstrations in front of the Exhibit Barn throughout the day. Youngsters can enjoy the Giggles & Grins Children’s Activities. Matt Cadabra will bring his magic to the main stage from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. A lip-sync contest takes place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., followed by a family dance with Dan & Galla to close out the first night of the fair.

Another new event this year is the Smokin’ Llama’s Punkin Chunkin demonstration that will take place at various times throughout the day.

When the fair opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1, the craft vendors will be all set up. Dan & Galla, favorites in the area, will return to the main stage to entertain the crowd

The Unionville Community Fair & Farm Show is a good place to learn about animals.

from 10 to 11 a.m. One of the highlights of the fair, the annual parade, starts off at 10 a.m. with the route beginning at the Patton Middle School. Dan & Galla will emcee the parade from the main stage between 11 a.m. snd noon.

Meanwhile, there are many other activities taking place. The scarecrow-making contest begins at 10 a.m., with judging getting underway at noon.

A mechanical bull will be set up for attendees can experience the thrill of riding a bucking animal.

The horse show begins at 9 a.m., and this year the event moves to a new venue—Vince Dugan Stables.

Deckman said that she is very excited about the new venue because it offers more space and, in the event of rain, will offer an improved track for the participants. There’s more parking, too.

There are various activities for children to enjoy. Barnyard games will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. Robin Moore, a storyteller, will be entertaining children from 1 to 2 p.m. The Give and Take Jugglers will be roving around the fairgrounds between 2:30 and 4 p.m.

A dairy show takes place from 1 to 5 p.m., followed by a cow-milking contest that is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.

The Pa. State-sponsored baking contest entries are accepted at the Red Exhibit Barn from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The baking contest judging is slated for 2 p.m.

The lineup of performers on the main stage from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday will feature something for everyone as Shawn O’Donnell hosts Band Night. Alexallegra starts things off with a country music performance, followed by Dorris Nolly from 5:15 to 6 p.m. and Bill Rose from 6:15 to 7 p.m. The Caroling Strings will perform on the main stage from 7:15 to 8 p.m. The fair closes at 9 p.m.

The hours for the fair on Sunday is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and plenty of fun is packed into the shorter day. One highlight on Sunday is the Cow Pie Bingo with Dan & Galla, which takes place in the paddock area at 3 p.m.

Deckman will help Dan & Galla officially close the fair at 4 p.m. at the front of the Exhibit Barn.

One of the fair’s more popular events, the rodeo, has a new date and venue this year. The rodeo will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Brandywine Polo Field in Toughkenamon.

The rodeo, which comes toward the end of the rodeo circuit, brings in highly entertaining performers that thrills audiences.

“It is a major event,” Deckman explained. “It will be a lot of fun.”

While this is Deckman’s first year as the president, she has a strong connection to the tradition of the fair. Her husband, Matthew’s grandparents, were a part of the fair since its beginning. Matthew’s grandmother, Laura (Case) Deckman was the fourth Unionville Fair Queen, and his grandfather, Fred, was well-known for working with the Matchbox company to create the official Unionville Community Fair truck. It is now an official matchbox. She and the board members are committed to celebrating the traditions of the fair, while also seeing it continue to evolve as it approaches the 100th anniversary.

“One of the things we’re trying to do is reorganize the board

so that it is multi-generational,” Deckman said. “We want to expand the range of people who are interested in the fair. We’re trying to revitalize the fair.”

A new president takes the reins

Deb Deckman of West Grove is happy to lead the fair this year

By John Chambless Staff Writer

In February, the Unionville Fair came as close as possible to being canceled forever.

At a last-minute community “Save the Fair” meeting on Feb. 17, Deb Deckman stepped forward and agreed to serve as the fair board’s next president, and Jeff Lewis agreed to serve as the fair’s next treasurer.

Deckman lives in West Grove but has deep roots in Unionville and the fair. Her husband Matthew’s grandparents were part of the fair since the beginning. Grandmother Laura (Case) Deckman was the fourth Unionville Fair Queen. Many fairgoers remember Fred Deckman’s Matchbox cars. Matthew Deckman’s parents are Joe and Lori (Johnson), both Unionville grads.

As plans were gearing up for the 2016 fair, Deckman answered a few questions about how she has become involved in the annual tradition.

Deb Deckman

Q.: What have people said to you since you stepped up to help save the fair? Are they appreciative?

A.: Many members of the community have reached out to me to thank me for dedicating my time in this role –most noteworthy, a letter from Andrew Dinniman, the State Senator for the 19th District. Personally, the greatest compliment came in the form of sincere appreciation from generations of the Deckman family, who have had involvement in the fair since the very beginning. The Deckman family has always upheld the motto “service before self.” My and Matt’s goal as parents is to also instill this in our three children, leading by example.

What role does the fair play in the Chester County community, as far as it being a family tradition?

Dozens of families I know attend the fair annually. Since I took over as president, many parents have shared their experiences with the fair since they were young children. They express how happy they are to share those same memories with their children. It is interesting to swap stories and discover how so many memories are shared between friends, families, and community members. Because the fair has been running for so long, these memories spread across multiple generations – five generations in my own family.

What’s your favorite part of the fair?

Short of all of the wonderful events, my favorite part of the fair is seeing the community of volunteers come together and donate their time. In a world full of chaos and upset, it is refreshing to be humbled by true human nature that is good and realizes the importance of community.

What changes would you like to see in the fair’s attractions or layout or offerings?

Our goal is to revitalize the fair while upholding the purpose of the promotion and education of Agriculture, Agribusiness, Homemaking, Handcrafts and the Arts. It strives to encourage and stimulate interest and involvement of the people of the Unionville-Chadds Ford area in the growth, production, selection and exhibition of products through an educational community activity. In the works this year are an addition of a tiny home, a very exciting exhibit that will appeal to multiple generations.

What has been the most challenging aspect of taking over your new role at the fair?

Learning the ropes! While I do have experience on being on a board of directors, specifically for a non-profit organization, the Unionville Community Fair has a larger volunteer base than anything I have ever been a part of. Coordinating efforts and leaning on those that have led in the past is a requirement, and a blessing.

What have been the rewards?

The outpouring of feedback on all of the changes we are striving to make has been very positive. Not only are community members excited that the fair will continue, but that it will be revitalized and taken into its 100th year successfully.

Will you be at this year’s fair every day?

Every day!

A new treasurer protects the future of the fair

Jeff Lewis stepped up in February to take over his new position

By John Chambless Staff Writer

When the future of the Unionville Fair was in doubt in February, Jeff Lewis stepped up with Deb Deckman, even though he was relatively new to the area. Lewis is the new treasurer for the fair, keeping an eye on the bottom line of the annual event.

He recently answered a few questions about how he came to take his new position.

Jeff Lewis and his wife, Debbie.

Q.: What have people said to you since you stepped up to help save the fair? Are they appreciative?

A.: I have had numerous “thank you’s” and people showing their appreciation that I volunteered to serve as treasurer to keep the fair going in 2016 and beyond.

What role does the fair play in the Chester County community, as far as it being a family tradition?

Personally, when my wife and I moved to Chester County in 2013, we started going to the fair. The event is endearing for the community. It reminds me of the Washington County (Pa.) fair that I grew up attending. As I have become involved this year, I have met people with connections to the fair going back three and four generations.

What economic role does it play -- in other words, how much money comes in and goes out as part of the budget?

The fair is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We balanced the fair’s budget at just over six figures this year. In addition to paying our vendors, you’ll see additional value return to the community by way of the awards we pay to winners of the agricultural and craft contents, education programs offered at the fair, school class trips to the fair on Friday, and more.

What’s your favorite part of the fair?

There is something for everyone at the fair. My favorite event at the fair has been the rodeo. It is wholesome entertainment that my entire family enjoys.

What changes would you like to see in the fair’s attractions or layout or offerings?

We are making a few notable changes this year, including the addition of more music, moving the rodeo offsite and to the following weekend, and bringing in some new exhibit attractions.

What has been the most challenging aspect of taking over your new role at the fair?

There are so many persons contributing to run the fair successfully; getting to know all the people and their respective roles while everyone is running at 100 miles per hour has been the most challenging.

What have been the rewards?

I have enjoyed forming new, local relationships that I would not have otherwise. I work largely outside the community and this volunteer work has allowed me to contribute close to home.

Will you be at this year’s fair every day?

Yes, I will be at the fair every day this year.

Mathnasium Partners with National PTA on STEM Initiative

Mathnasium of Glen Mills is one of 680 Mathnasium locations nationwide slated to put the "M" in STEM

Glen Mills, PA(June 17, 2016)—Mathnasium Learning Centers is proud to announce that it has joined forces with National PTA as a partner in PTA’s nationwide science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and family engagement initiative. Through this collaboration, Mathnasium will support National PTA in the development and deployment of resources, activities and events that engage students and families in STEM/math experiences.

“Mathnasium is honored to forge an alliance with National PTA,” said Peter Markovitz, founder and chief executive officer of Mathnasium.

“As a founding sponsor of PTA’s STEM initiative, we’re excited for this invaluable opportunity to collaborate with dedicated educators and parent leaders. It heralds a new chapter for our company as we carry out our mission to help every child understand—and master—math.”

“We at Mathnasium of Glen Mills, PA are enthusiastic supporters of community schools and parent leader organizations for the benefit of all students,” added Vipul Bhatt, Center Director of Mathnasium of Glen Mills, PA. “Math is the foundation for all STEM fields, and we’re eager to explore all the possibilities this partnership offers in the way of making math come alive through inspiring and accessible STEM learning experiences in West Chester.”

Launched in 2015, National PTA’s initiative seeks to fill a critical gap in STEM education, increase access to STEM experiences for all students and inspire the next generation of STEM professionals. Its goal is to deliver 100,000 STEM experiences over the next three years—in schools and at home. The effort will include a focus on urban areas and among girls and underrepresented youth.

“We know—and decades of research proves—that family engagement is essential to children’s achievement. We also know that

families play an important role in helping students navigate educational and career decisions and are influencers of students’ perceptions of what’s possible for their futures,” said Nathan R. Monell, CAE, National PTA executive director. “Family engagement is critical to strengthen STEM education, support student success in STEM and inspire children to pursue STEM careers.”

As National PTA expands the STEM initiative, Mathnasium will work alongside education and industry leaders across all STEM disciplines.

“The Mathnasium Method has helped transform the way children understand and appreciate math. Through its personalized programs, Mathnasium seeks to make math fun and to make math make sense for every child,” said Laura Bay, president of National PTA. “We are thrilled to have Mathnasium join our STEM initiative and collaborate to engage families and inspire children’s love of math.”

About National PTA

National PTA® comprises millions of families, students, teachers, administrators, and business and community leaders devoted to the educational success of children and the promotion of family engagement in schools. PTA is a registered 501(c) (3) nonprofit association that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for public education.

Kevin and Tobi Quinlan had an idea to revolutionize the way local residents can enjoy wholesome foods grown and harvested right here in Chester County. For the past three years, Logical Living Fresh Express has brought these goods right to their doorsteps

Bringing back the milkman

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

You drive by Baily’s Dairy in Pocopson and think, ‘Someday, I will stop in and pick up their butter and milk and eggs.’ You drive by North Star Orchards in Cochranville and think that someday, you will rave at the bursting colors of their fresh fruits and vegetables, and bring them home to your family.

Someday, you’ll do the same at the Northbrook Marketplace in West Chester, as well as so many other roadside farms and markets.

Someday, you will pledge to fill your cupboards and your refrigerator with homemade pies and hand-made granola and yogurt and honey and mushrooms, all grown and cultivated less than an hour’s drive from

where you live. Someday, you will find the time in your life to drive down the dusty driveways that will lead you to the farmers and the growers of Chester County and slow everything down to the way it used to be – before convenience, before everything moved so fast.

Since they began Logical Living Fresh Express in October 2013, Kevin and Tobi Quinlan of Kennett Square have been that crucial liaison that links the abundant bounty of locally grown food to your dining room table. Every week, Kevin delivers products grown on farms whose model is not only a healthy one, but environmentally safe, where livestock are allowed to roam in pastures, hormone and antibiotic free, and where fruits and vegetables aren’t picked until they are at their peak of freshness, and are often delivered to your home as few as one or two days of being picked.

In just a few short years, Logical Living Fresh Express has grown from just delivering milk to a few homes, to delivering products to a vast network of more than 100 active customers in Kennett Square, Unionville, Chadds Ford, Mendenhall, Coatesville, Downingtown, as well as parts of Avondale and West Chester. The idea to create a business that links farm-grown meats

and dairy and fruits and vegetables and dozens of other products directly to the consumer may have been the outgrowth of an online business that Tobi began years ago, but if you ask Kevin, he will tell you that it came from a childhood memory, when the milkman came to the house he grew up in.

About six years ago, Tobi began Logical Living as on online resource to enable people to learn more about embracing an environmentally-conscious lifestyle. Through an assessment form and resource links, Logical Living began to point hundreds of people in new directions that enabled them to make quick and simple changes.

“We were trying to do it ourselves, at our home, to figure out what we could do as a family to decrease our carbon footprint,” she said. “We started seeing the huge benefit of recycling. So much was going into the recycling, that we lowered the amount of times we would have to take our trash out for pick-up.”

Logical Living Fresh Express makes weekly deliveries of fresh local produce and products to more than 100 customers in Chester County every week.

At the same time, the Quinlan’s, now the parents of their son Patrick, began to explore methods of incorporating healthy and environmentally-aware living into the foods they ate. It was a concept that Tobi knew well; she had grown up on a farm in Pennsylvania, and the family dinner table was usually filled with locally grown and harvested meats, fruits and vegetables.

“In terms of choices and opportunities for healthy living, Chester County has so much to offer, so we began to find out about community supported agriculture (CSA), in order to buy local produce,” she said.

“We joined a CSA at Inverbrook Farm on Lambortown Road, which besides their own vegetables, brought together local farmers who would bring in locally-processed meats and fruits. It really began to open our eyes to what we didn’t previously know about the many local food resources that were available here. It was not just making fresh food available, but it was building a network between the farmers and growers.”

vests and construction site products. While he was content there, he was also restless to begin a new career, and what he was finding was that dotted among his business plans, were memories of his own childhood growing up in Unionville.

“I remembered when the milkman used to come to our house when I was a kid, and I was toying around in my brain for awhile about the idea of bringing back the milkman,” Kevin said. “On my way home from work, I would stop by Baily’s Dairy to pick up milk, but I was realizing, ‘This place is so great, and their products are so great, if more people were aware of this, they would love it.’”

He began to read articles that told him what he wanted to see: home delivery of fresh products was beginning to happen in other parts of the country.

With the seed of an idea freshly planted, Kevin approached Bernard Baily of Baily’s Dairy and shared the concept with him.

In 2011, Kevin was working in West Chester at an internet based company that sold high-visibility traffic cones and safety

“I asked Mr. Baily, ‘Have you ever thought about delivering your milk?’” Kevin said. “Mr. Baily said that the business did not have personnel to do it, so then I asked him, ‘What if I delivered the milk for you?’ Mr. Baily said, ‘I don’t see why not.’”

The Quinlans began to gauge interest in a potential home delivery service. The responses were strong, and immediately, stuffing coolers in the back of his old Subaru, Kevin began to make the first deliveries that soon became the new family business – milk from Baily’s Dairy. The Quinlans also promoted their business at local shows and events, but word-of-mouth remains the best form of advertising (‘What’s Kevin delivering in that truck?”) and the concept slowly spread.

Within months, Quinlan was able to borrow Baily’s refrigerated delivery truck, in order to take the increased number of orders. As customers increased, the Quinlan’s began to approach the producers they had known from the CSA – Buck Run Farms, North Star Orchards, Barnard’s Orchards, the Northbrook Marketplace, Lindenhof Farms, the Artisan’s Exchange and Oakshire Farms – and soon, the old milk truck was filled to the brim with a wide variety of foods to be delivered.

any changes to their order. Every Wednesday morning, Kevin travels to his contacts and gathers the products for delivery, and makes deliveries on Wednesday afternoon, as well as Thursday and Friday mornings.

Currently, there are 106 items available from the Logical Living Fresh Express website, and it’s not just dairy, meats fruits and vegetables. From the convenience of their home or work computer, customers can order everything from bird seed to sun spray; and soap to fresh-ground coffee. Just recently, Logical Living Fresh Express began making home deliveries of Paradocx wine.

And it’s all fresher than anything that can be found in a general convenience store.

Customers who wish to begin delivery can access the company’s website and “create” their own shopping list, whether it’s a weekly distribution of milk and eggs or meat every month. Customers receive a reminder e-mail on Sunday mornings to confirm their deliveries, and have until Tuesday night to make

“When we first began buying our fruit from the North Star Orchard, we had never had fruit that tasted that good before,” Kevin said. “They don’t pick their fruit until it’s actually truly ready to be picked. When you’re buying something that was grown in California, it was picked two weeks before it is truly ready, but with the farms we work with, they wait for fruits and vegetables to get to their peak performance, and the people who are our customers are the beneficiaries.

The benefits of joining Logical Living Fresh Express are

many: it supports local, family owned businesses, and the profits all stay in the local community. Kevin said that there’s another advantage he’s been hearing about.

“We are finding that a lot of our customers are telling us, ‘You are actually saving us money by doing this service,’” Kevin said. “Often times, when people go to the grocery store, they buy things that they don’t need. Because they’re going to the grocery store less often by having us deliver to them, they’re saving money.”

With a full plate of orders to fill and farms to visit, Kevin estimates that he drives about 200 miles a week, in a new delivery truck, while Tobi manages the logistics of the business, managing the website, billing orders and paying vendors.

still proportionally very small, but it’s growing,” Kevin said. “We are getting more and more families who are wanting to work with us. We’re going to let the market lead us.”

“It’s been a fascinating process to learn who our customers are,” Tobi said. “Most are families with children, who don't have the time to get to these farms and resources, but like the concept of convenience. Most importantly, they also want to provide healthy, local food for their family.”

“Compared to the number of people who still visit the large superstores for their produce, the people who are doing this is

Some of the best moments of Kevin’s week are when he drives up to a home and pulls into a driveway. From his truck, he often sees little children, who know it’s delivery day, and are waiting for him to arrive.

“I was walking into a home recently, and I saw a this little girl pop out from behind a drapery,” Kevin said. “She waved at me, and I waved back at her. She now has somebody in her life who delivers milk to her house. I told Tobi, ‘I had that same experience when I was her age, when the milkman came to our house, and I waited for him.’”

TASTES GREAT

Local fruits and vegetables taste great because they’re fresh from nearby farms.

GOOD FOR YOU

Local food is fresher and has more vitamins

GOOD FOR PENNSYLVANIA

When your family buys poducts grown or made in our state, it helps local farmers, food processors, and businesses. The money you spend on local products, helps create jobs and strengthens our economy.

HELPS PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

It takes less fuel to get local products to you. This means less pollution, which helps the environment.

KEEPS PENNSYLVANIA GROWING

Pennsylvania has some of the richest farmland in the country, and produces some of the best food and agricultural products in the world. By supporting local farmers and businesses today, you help Pennsylvania remain strong for future generations.

HOW TO TELL IF IT’S MADE IN PA

Look for the PA Preferred® logo, a gold checkmark inside the blue keystone. This means the product is grown or made in Pennsylvania.

Next time you and your family shop at a grocery store or farmers market, look for the PA Preferred® logo and tell your family why buying products grown or made in Pennsylvania makes a difference.

MADE IN PA.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

HOSTED BY LANDHOPE FARMS

The big event is moved to Oct. 8 at the Brandywine Polo Club

By John Chambless Staff Writer

The Willowdale Pro Rodeo was a big event right out of the gate in 2011, when first-class rodeo thrills came to the Unionville Fair. Crowds packed the arena again and again until 2015, when a deluge caused the cancellation of the rodeo. Organizers saw that changes needed to be made, and this year, the rodeo has moved off-site to the Brandywine Polo Club grounds in Toughkenamon on Oct. 8, the weekend after the fair.

For Ray Shea, Jr., the decision to relocate the fair’s headline event made sense, and he’s hoping that the public follows the Willowdale Rodeo to its new home.

Shea recently answered some questions about the rodeo’s move.

Q.: What’s your connection with the rodeo?

A.: I co-chair the Rodeo Committee with Jayne Shea (my wife) and Sally Yacka (who is also an executive fair board member). The three of us have chaired the rodeo since it began in 2011, with this being our sixth year.

What led to the decision to move the Willowdale Rodeo this year?

Moving the location was primarily due to footing issues. The arena at the Steeplechase property had drainage issues. Therefore, when it rained, it made the conditions unsafe. It was difficult to maintain

the arena when it rained. Our primary concern is the safety of our contestants, their livestock and, of course, our spectators.

The Polo Club, however, has an equestrian arena that has proper footing, as well as good drainage for our purposes. The stands provide improved viewing for our spectators. We are fortunate that Dixon Stroud, who supports the fair at the Steeplechase property, was able to pave the way for us to move the event to the Polo Club. This location is convenient for patron parking, food vendor set-up, and provides easy access from Route 1 for contestants and spectators.

What other benefits come from moving the location and date?

At this location, it will be a daytime event, with the slack to take place at 10 a.m. and the main event at 2 p.m. The time change should be a benefit with the weather growing colder at night in October. We loved having it on-site, but the challenges of the safety of the footing became imperative to address. We are a nationally sanctioned event, and therefore are obligated to meet certain standards.

Will the riders and competition be the same as they were at the new location?

Yes. The event is open to the same group of contestants it always has been, which is not limited to just our

area. We have contestants from all over the USA that compete in our event. This will be the first points event for the 2017 rodeo season, which culminates at the First Frontier Circuit Finals at the 2018 Pennsylvnia Farm Show in Harrisburg, which is a regional competition. The five regional competitions move to nationals in Las Vegas in February. Contestants enjoy the opportunity to compete at our event, since it provides them a chance to get a jumpstart on points for the upcoming season. Painted Pony Championship Rodeo of Lake Luzerne, N.Y., remains our stock contractor, as in years past.

We rely on community sponsorships, both monetary and in-kind, as well as an all-volunteer staff. Sponsors are still being sought for this year’s event, and we’d like to thank all of our previous sponsors, without whom we would not be able to hold our event.

The 2016 Willowdale Pro Rodeo will be held Oct. 8 at the Brandywine Polo Club (232 Polo Rd., Toughkenamon). Tickets are $17 for ages 13 and older, $12 for ages 4 to 12, and free for ages 3 and younger. Tickets will be available via the Unionville Fair website (ucfair.org) beginning on Sept. 1, and at the gate.

Efforts to preserve Barnard’s Orchard continue

The Land Conservancy of Southern Chester County is working to conserve the property that will ensure that the lands remain in active agriculture in perpetuity

By Steven Hoffman Staff Writer

Gwen Lacy, the executive director of The Land Conservancy of Southern Chester County (TLC), said that the organization is reaching out to the community to complete the effort to preserve Barnard’s Orchard, a fourth-generation family farm in Chester County.

Funding for most of the projected costs to conserve the 74 acres of Barnard’s Orchard has already been raised. Lacy said that the TLC has been working with the Barnard family to place an agricultural conservation easement on the property. The group still needs about $11,000 to move forward with the project, which has an estimated cost of about $901,000.

This conservation project is vital to the effort to keep intact a corridor of more than 1,200 acres of lands, Lacy said.

The store at Barnard’s Orchard sells a wide variety of produce items.

An effort is underway to preserve Barnard’s Orchard, a fourthgeneration farm in Chester County.

Barnard’s Orchard was originally established in 1862, and represents 74 acres of important agricultural soils. More than 30 varieties of apples are grown on the property. The orchard is also well-known for its peaches, pumpkins, apple cider, snapdragons, and freesia, as well as many other fruits and vegetables that are grown on the property.

Both the orchard and the store are community treasures, with generations of local families growing up visiting the properties. Barnard’s Orchard donates produce to area good cupboards and also hosts school groups to educate children about the orchard.

The orchard’s location is important as it protects prime agricultural soils and keeps them in active agriculture through the agricultural easement. This will also protect a portion of a first order stream and wooded, steep slopes, as well as the groundwater recharge abilities of the woods. Preserving the orchard also maintains the existing riparian buffer to protect the watershed. Woodlands that are a part of an unbroken corridor extending north onto

the Cheslen Preserve will also be protected instead of being threatened by potential development. The stream corridor and the woods in the area are home to numerous endangered and threatened plant species.

The importance of conserving Barnard Orchard can be illustrated by the recent loss of about 62 acres of fields and forests near the village of Marshallton so that more than 130 new residences can be built.

In the email seeking support to conserve the property, the TLC noted that farmland and open space benefits everyone by keeping the costs of community services under control. For $1 of tax revenue from farmland, only 2-12 cents of community services are required. By comparison, residential costs are $1.33 for every $1 of tax revenue.

Donations to protect Barnard Orchard can be made online at www.tlcforscc.org or checks payable to TLC can be sent to:

The ﬁeld that became a phenomenon

By Richard L. Gaw Staff Writer

When a 20-acre portion of the 300-acre Liondale Farm in Unionville was dedicated to be a field of sunflowers earlier this year, owner Jim Sinclair and his wife Ann had no idea that their meadow of yellow would become a stunning pilgrimage for thousands of visitors. It has.

Throughout August and September, at any time, Sinclair said that there were seven to 15 cars parked along the farm’s Route 926 main entrance. Still other cars entered down the road. For whatever their reasons, visitors from nearly every state in the

James Sinclair of the Liondale Farm.

Mid-Atlantic region stopped by to admire the gentle sway of sunflowers that seemed to go on forever. Many people took photographs or let their children run in the pasture; while others simply stopped to admire the view, but whatever the purpose, the word quickly spread.

“I heard there’s 10,000 hits on Facebook about this,” Sinclair said in September. “When we did this four years ago, we’d come home and see a few people near our driveway, but this year, there has been four times the amount of visitors. It’s just turned into this phenomenon. People love flowers, and sunflowers bring a cheerfulness and a smile to people’s faces. People have left notes in our mailbox, thanking us.”

The sunflowers, planted by local farmer Jamie Hicks in late July, will be harvested later this year by Sinclair and Hicks, and converted into birdseed.

Sinclair said that crops are rotated every year, and for the next two growing seasons, corn will be planted and harvested, followed by soybeans and winter wheat. Sunflowers are not expected to be planted again until four years from now, he said.

For Sinclair, who has lived at the farm for the last 14 years and is the eighth generation in his family to have done so, opening up a portion of his farm to admirers has connected thousands of visitors to the beauty of nature.

“This field makes us realize the fact that we can own a property here, and allow people the freedom to come here from so many different parts of the country, simply to enjoy this,” he said.

Throughout late summer and early fall, the Liondale Farm’s 20 acres of sunflowers became a must-see for hundreds of visitors who flocked to the site.
