I was lucky enough to get to the 102nd Pennsylvania State Farm Show on Wednesday.
I hope that many of you will also get there -- as it runs through Saturday in Harrisburg.
There are plenty of animals on display, as well as myriad aspects of agriculture, family living and other facets of this important state industry and way of life.
And of course there is the food! Potato doughnuts, honey ice cream, magnificent milk shakes -- the list goes on and on. Just be sure to buy your food in the food court, where state-produced yummies are offered.
Here are a few photos from our day at the Farm Show. Try to go -- and if you can't get there, don't miss the great coverage on PCN TV. You'll miss out on the food and that first-hand experience, but they do a great job of covering so much of this great show.
And the butter sculpture!!
We were able to head out to Harrisburg on Wednesday to take in the 101st Pennsylvania Farm Show.
It runs through Saturday, although I can't really recommend going on the last day.
I don't like how some things have changed, including not having all of the animals there for the entire week. When we were there on Wednesday, for instance, the sheep, pigs and goats were already gone, as were the poultry, beef cattle and all but a few of the draft horses.
We did get to see the dairy cows this year, but there were lots of empty barns and by Saturday -- based on what we experienced last year when we went out to pick up our photo entries -- there is even less to see.
So just be advised.
It's still a great show and the food is outstanding.
Here are a few photos from Wednesday's outing.
Just a glance at the great food offerings...
This year's butter sculpture. Impressive, but I much prefer previous years' that featured multiple large figures...
Chicks hatching!
Duck slide!
