2019 Shippensburg Fair Results
Another year of the Shippensburg Fair has come and almost gone. As always, nearing midnight on the last day to pre-register I got myself signed up. And with no rush on the Sunday afternoon before the Monday morning drop off, I was printing pictures. I even went back and printed more late Sunday afternoon. I got everything matted and framed before I went to bed. What's the rush?
The Driftwood Beach picture was a last minute change, but I could tell it was meant for black and white. The Teton picture was a second or third choice for me. The others didn't print well. I just liked the colors of the Little Blue Heron. As with all pictures in general, as the picture-taker I look at the sunrise picture and I'm standing right there. I feel the sand, the breeze, the sun's heat. The judge's unfortunately only see a picture. The bison surprised me though. I thought he stood a chance.
Now it's just 359 days until I need to think about next year's entries.

Friendship Fire and Hose Company, No. 1
Friendship Fire and Hose Company No. 1 aka Elizabethtown Fire Department, 171 North Mount Joy Street, Elizabethtown, Pa. Lancaster County Station 74. The Union Fire Company started on January 26, 1836 in Elizabethtown. The Unions reorganized in 1858 as the Friendship Fire Company and again reorganized December 3, 1878 as the Friendship Fire and Hose Company No. 1. I can not find where there is an official change to Elizabethtown Fire Department or if this is just the entity that is responsible for fire protection within the Borough. The old station at 117 South Market Street, was built in 1884. It was added to in 1890 and again in 1956. It was eventually decommissioned in 1976 when the new station opened on Mount Joy Street.
