Senate to convene on Tuesday, January 1 to kick off 2019-2020 legislative session

Our state’s Constitution mandates that the legislature reconvene on the first Tuesday of the year following an election to begin a new legislative session. This year, the first Tuesday falls on New Year’s Day.

On Tuesday at noon, the General Assembly will convene for swearing-in ceremonies in both the Senate and House of Representatives. This marks the official start to the 2019-2020 legislative session.

If you want to watch the Senate’s ceremonies on your computer, mobile device or table, you can tune in on my Facebook Page on New Year’s Day at noon. I will provide a livestream for your convenience.

Pennsylvania Farm Show kicks off January 5

The 103^rd annual Pennsylvania Farm Show will run from January 5-12 in at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. The Food Court will open on January 4 from 12 p.m. – 9 p.m.

This year’s Farm Show theme is Inspiring Pennsylvania’s Story.

The Farm Show gives York Countians an opportunity to see and experience the best our county’s farmers and professionals in the agricultural industry have to offer the rest of the state, country and world.

The Pennsylvania Farm Show is the world’s largest indoor agricultural expo. The Farm Show features over 12,000 competitive exhibits and over 300 commercial exhibits.

The Farm Show offers something for every age. Admission is free, however, there is a $15 charge for parking at Farm Show Complex-operated lots. Learn more here.
