Warren Peachey


Warren Peachey, president of the New Holland Farmers Fair board of directors, received the Outstanding Fair Ambassador Award  during a ceremony held Nov. 14.
The award, issued by Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture, George Greig, recognizes Peachey for his leadership, volunteerism and dedication to a fair that showcases agriculture — Pennsylvania's leading industry.
Barron "Boots" Hetherington, PA Fair Administrator from the Department of Agriculture, presented the award to the New Holland resident at the annual New Holland Farmers Fair volunteer appreciation banquet held at Yoder's Restaurant, New Holland.
Hetherington praised Peachey's 40-year volunteer service with the fair that celebrated its 81st year this past October.
Peachey's first duties involved the set-up and tear-down of the fair.  In 1992 he joined the board of directors where he's served as president since 1994 Picture credit and information, Barron "Boots" Hetherington, PA Fair Administrator from the Department of Agriculture, (left)presents award to Warren Peachey (photo courtesy of New Holland Farmers Fair) Click for the article By Carole Deck Correspondent.
