Berks County Junior Grange Royalty 2024-2025
Mini Prince Codey Fayewicz
Hi! My name is Codey Fayewicz, and I am the Berks County Junior Grange Mini Prince. I am 7 years old, and finishing 1st grade in the Exeter Township School District. Beyond Grange, I play ice hockey for the Jr. Reading Royals and I’m in Cub Scouts. I also like to ride my bike, roller blade and go camping with my family. I collect rocks and ice hockey trading cards. I am a member of Virginville Jr Grange. Some of my favorite Grange activities are going to camp and helping to take orders at the Kutztown Folk Festival. At camp, I love playing gaga ball, fishing, taking the test and the interview. I am excited for this year as Mini Prince.
Mini Princess Savannah Beamon
Hi, my name is Savannah Beamon. I’m nine years old and go to Southeast Elementary in Lebanon where I’m in 3rd grade. I have a brother named Riley and a sister named Dylan. My parents' names are Robert and Jen Beamon. My hobbies are playing bells at church with mom, playing basketball, tennis, building Legos, volleyball, and reading. I’m looking forward to handing ribbons out at the fairs and visiting other Granges.
