Siblings Repeat in Poultry Contest

(La Porte, IN) - A brother and sister have repeated as La Porte County fair champions.

 

Georgia Pumroy, 15, of Rolling Prairie sounded more like a rooster and turkey than over a dozen other 4-H competitors based on the scoring by judges in the crowing and gobbling contest this morning.

 

“It feels amazing,” was her reaction to winning both wings of the competition.

 

Joe Pumroy, 16, had a turkey that gobbled just twice in 10 minutes but it was one more than the other turkey in the gobbling competition.

The siblings are past winners in the contest but Georgia said her major focus this year was beating her brother on sounding like a turkey gobbling.

 

Her brother was defending champion in minicking a turkey gobbling.

 

The Pumroys have turkeys and roosters at their home in the Rolling Prairie area.
