So, the winner of the first letter of the ABCs of York County is…
A for Agricultural Fair! Thanks to my awesome brother-in-law Mike for first making this suggestion and to many others for seconding it. Mike even did some research for me: “The York Agricultural Fair has been at its current location since 1888. However, the origins of the York Fair date back to 1765 according to the York Fair Web site (yorkfair.org),” he writes.
Now, it’s time to start voting for your favorite B – LOTS of choices here! – and it’s also time to suggest your favorite C words for next week’s poll, so post a comment with those if you haven’t already.
My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
My nomination for the letter “C” is chips. York is the location for many chip manufacturers including: Martin’s, Utz, Snyder’s, Bickel’s, and Frito-Lay. One of my favorites was Senft’s which closed in 1980. According to the web-site, yorkcity.org, “On Jan. 10, 1945, brothers Ralph and Charles Senft first started selling what many Yorkers remember as York’s best potato chip. The plant closed on Aug. 1, 1980.”
