Last year’s eleventh Annual Woolly Bear Contest, the 278 entries started arriving early in October as soon as the furry ones started putting in an appearance in this area. Judging of the contestants was an even more difficult task than in previous years but talent finally prevailed and several entries caught the eyes of the judges.

The woolly one selected the Cutest and Cuddliest, “the fairest of the fair,” and crowned with the name of “Alma,” was entered by Cody Reed. Cody was a 13-year-oldeighth graders at Clear Spring Middle. The runner up in this category was Bethany Easterday an 11-yearold sixth grader from Smithsburg Middle.

In the second category of the Biggest and Woolliest, (and which we labeled “Hairy Hager”), the honor went to the entry submitted by Jonathan Snyder, a seven-yearold second grader from Wolfsville Elementary School. The runner up was entered by Colby Wolfensberger, an eighth grader at Clear Spring Middle.

Each winner received an award of $100 for their entry and the runners up each received six copies of the Almanack to share with their friends.

We hope that this year you are the one to find the woolly bear that . ,11 catch the judges’ eyes and, thus, have an extra $100 of spending money for the upcoming Christmas season.
