PA Farm Show Runs Jan. 6-13
As a state where agriculture is one of the top industries, Pennsylvania is proud to host the largest indoor agricultural exposition under one roof in the nation. The 108th Pennsylvania Farm Show runs from Jan. 6-13 in Harrisburg. The Farm Show features nearly 6,000 animals and more than 10,000 exhibits. There are also thousands of competitions and educational and entertaining events – and of course the famed Food Court, offering Farm Show milkshakes, fried cheese and so much more. Admission is free, and parking is $15 per car. Make the most of your trip with the visitor’s guide. Agriculture in PA employs nearly half a million people and contributes $132.5 billion to the state’s economy annually. Make sure to subscribe to my podcast on Apple and Spotify, as I’ll soon be sitting down to provide a sneak peek into the upcoming 2024 Farm Show. 2024 Mobile Office Hours Are Back!
