Family Living and Commodities
See the fun and excitement of exhibiting in two acres of Family Living, horticultural, environmental and 4-H exhibits! From beautifully-crafted quilt blocks to perfectly preserved jellies; picturesque Christmas trees to 80-pound pumpkins! Family Living displays at the Pennsylvania Farm Show highlight the diversity of craft, commodities and cuisine Pennsylvania and Pennsylvanians have to offer!
Contests in the Family Living area throughout the week include blue ribbon apple pie, homemade chocolate cake, sticky buns, thumbprint cookies, angel food cake and the great Pennsylvania whoopie pie contest! Can’t make it to the Show? Don’t worry, all contests are televised on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN)!
Livestock
The Farm Show offers six halls, three arenas and over 30 livestock competitions. From mighty Belgian horses to mini rex rabbits, and everything in between! Nearly 6,000 of the commonwealth’s best animals compete each year for the coveted Grand Champion title.
The show ring isn’t all serious business. Celebrity cow milking, Angora Palooza and the Sheep to Shawl contest are just a few of the popular extra-curricular livestock events held throughout the week.
