As I sit down to pen this welcome letter to our friends of agriculture, I am drawn to reflect upon what has occurred during the relatively short life of the Friends of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Foundation Inc.. Through the support of hundreds of individuals and agribusiness companies, our foundation has been able to provide, to our visiting public, dozens of agriculturally oriented events that would not have happened without your support. The Board of Directors are very proud to report that funds raised, since filing our Articles of Incorporation in 2010, have exceeded $550,000.00 to support our Mission Statement – to stimulate, facilitate and support educational programs, incentives and events relating to the annual Pennsylvania Farm Show. The 2017 annual Farm Show tentative Schedule of Events promises to further build upon the all- encompassing educational/blue ribbon experience theme as outlined by Secretary of Agriculture Russell C. Redding. The influence of the $40 billion production agriculture, food processor and agribusiness economy on the citizens of the Commonwealth is immeasurable. The importance of the annual Farm Show involvement of our 4-H and FFA youth to the future success of agriculture in the Commonwealth is immeasurable. The culmination of more than two years of effort by the Friends of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Foundation, Inc. -- the production of the historical book “Hold Your Horses – The Pennsylvania Farm Show at 100,” written by Mary Klaus was immeasurable. Let each of us, whether a participant or a visitor to the annual Farm Show, be fully aware of the immeasurable importance of all individuals or companies who produce the food and fiber that helps to sustain this nation and even the world. As we embark upon the 2017 Farm Show, and as the 101st ushers in a new century, we are hopeful that memories will be created for future recording, just as they were for the first 100 years. We are hopeful that this Visitor’s Guide provides you with valuable information that enhances your educational experience at the 2017 Farm Show. The Foundation sincerely thanks the Guide’s advertisers

    The Pennsylvania County Fair: A Snapshot of America at the Turn of the Twentieth Century Sarah Duda Abstract: This paper explores the controversial popularity of horse races at Pennsylvania agricultural fairs at the turn of the twentieth century. While the excitement of horse races and the gambling that surrounded them attracted large crowds to fairs, agriculturists were angered by their detraction from agricultural exhibits and moralists mortified by the gambling. On June 11, 1900, the Philadelphia Inquirer printed a short story entitled “Not Much of a Lift: Story of a Fresh Young Man Who Rolled a Farmer.” The story details the interesting interaction between a city man and country man on their way home from the county fair: “Farmers, even those who are considered “nigh” in other respects are usually quite willing to give foot passengers a “lift:” but they like to be asked for the favor politely. A native of Hillville was returning from the county fair at Brookby with an empty wagon, when he overtook a smartly dressed young man who was plodding along with the disgusted air of one unused to country roads and sand soil. “Hullo, hayseed!” cried the foot passenger, turning round as he heard the rattle of wagon wheels, and standing still until the farmer drove up, “Can a fellow get a lift to Sconset?” and without waiting for a reply, he vaulted into the wagon. “I might as well ride with you as walk, I guess. Now, then, start up your nag.” The farmer looked at the young man a little sharply, but said nothing beyond a “Git-up!” addressed to his horse.
