2011 Westmoreland Fair Queen
2011 WESTMORELAND FAIR QUEEN
Julia Tuttle, of Delmont, PA, was crowned the 2011 Westmoreland Fair
Queen on Friday, August 19. Julia, age 19, a daughter of Barbara Tuttle
and sister of Greg Tuttle, was extremely thrilled when her name was
announced as the 2011 Westmoreland Fair Queen. Julia has been in 4H for
6 years, starting out with horses and eventually expanding her knowledge
by showing market swine and market lambs. At this year’s fair, Julia
received 1st place in her halter class with her horse, Buddy. She also
received Reserve Grand Champion Carcass Lamb and Reserve Grand Champion
County Bred Lamb, while still having time to bake a 1st place chocolate
bunt cake.
Julia is a 2010 graduate of Greensburg Salem High School where she
took a community service class, out of which she volunteered at the
Westmoreland Humane Society, the Westmoreland County Food Bank, and
Nicely Elementary School. Julia has been a Horse Camp Counselor in past
years and has also attended Teen Leader Retreat. Julia was also involved
in helping with the 2010 annual Ride for the Cure horse show. In 2009,
Julia was awarded the Borbonus Sportsmanship award and was also
president of the Salem Saddle 4H Horse Club. In 2010, she was a
recipient of the 4H Memorial Fund Scholarship, which is being put to
great use.
Julia is currently attending the Vet Tech Institute in Pittsburgh,
PA, where she will get hands on training with a licensed veterinarian
working with adoptable animals. After the 18 month training, Julia plans
to find a job working with a veterinarian that specializes in livestock.
Throughout her reign as fair queen, Julia plans to attend various
fairs and events to raise awareness of agriculture in our community.
Julia is very excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to compete for
the State Title in January in Hershey, PA.
Although Julia will be finished with her 4H years at the end of her
fair queen reign, she hopes to hold a position in 4H leadership soon
after she is finished with school.
