Participating in the Farm Show is something many Pennsylvanians look forward to all year. It provides an opportunity to showcase the hard work and time invested in producing the best possible exhibits. To have a successful show and ensure entries are not disqualified, it is important for exhibitors to take time to read and understand the show’s rules. 

Prior to entering, be sure to take time to review the General Rules and Regulations, as well as the appropriate Department Rules. If you need clarification or have any questions or concerns, please contact the Livestock Office.
