COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Dear Friend of Agriculture:

Greetings and welcome to the 100th Pennsylvania Farm Show! It is my privilege to welcome you to the 2016 event here at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg! We are delighted to have you join us this week and excited about all that we have in store for you during this 100th celebration of our state’s fair.

With a theme of Our Commonwealth’s Blue Ribbon Experience, we are reminded that this show isn’t just about those of us who work at the department or at the complex. It’s not just for the farmers or those individuals who work in the agriculture industry in some capacity. It’s about each of us. It’s our individual and our collective experiences in agriculture that create the overall Farm Show experience. Indeed, the Farm Show is Pennsylvania’s blue ribbon experience. This show is for and about the people who enter the complex doors year after year to experience all that Pennsylvania agriculture has to offer.

What began as a three-day exhibition in 1917 has transformed into this week-long celebration of not only Pennsylvania’s agricultural blueprint, but the country’s agricultural blueprint. Just as it was when the first show took place a century ago, the Farm Show remains the commonwealth’s premier opportunity for farmers and agribusinesses to display the best of what they have to offer, to exhibit the latest technology, and – given its timing in early January—to- help our farmers plan for the year ahead. This show has become an annual tradition for families, giving those who are not involved in production agriculture a chance to learn just how much agriculture touches their lives beyond the three times a day they stop to eat.

When then-state Agriculture Secretary Charles Patton and others came together in 1916 in Lancaster to begin plans for the first Farm Show to take place in 1917, it is unlikely they knew then how this show would grow into what is has become today – 300 commercial exhibits, 6,000 animals, 10,000 competitive exhibits, and one-half million visitors.

The strength of Pennsylvania agriculture and Pennsylvania itself lies in its diversity. This show highlights the diversity of all that our state’s agriculture has to offer.

I look forward to seeing you throughout week. Off to the show we go.!

Sincerely,

Russell C. Redding Secretary of Agriculture www.farmshow.state.pa.us • 5 2016 Photo Contest Photo Contest Guidelines The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is looking 1st Place - $100 cash prize and a VIP for photographs that best capture the spirit of the Farm parking space for the 2017 Farm Show Show.

The annual tradition, which began in 1917 in several buildings in downtown Harrisburg, has grown, becoming a yearly destination for farm families and non-farm families alike. The vast knowledge exchanged between agricultural product producers and consumers that occurs within the walls of this 24-acre facility is unsurpassed anywhere in our great nation.

This next Pennsylvania Farm Show marks a very special year. The celebration of the 100th show promises to provide all visitors and participants an experience that will last a lifetime. Static as well as interactive displays will enable our visitors to envision being back on their grandparents’ farm. The experience of closeness to Pennsylvania’s vast diversity of livestock can only happen at one of the local fairs or at the annual Pennsylvania Farm Show – our version of a state fair. Our agribusiness participants will provide our visitors with an insight into agriculture, our commonwealth’s leading industry, and will help visitors make the connection between agriculture and their everyday lives.

Incorporated in 2010, received IRS 501C3 status 2012, the Friends of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Foundation’s sole mission is to support educational activities related to the annual Pennsylvania Farm Show. In 2013, the group was tasked with producing a historical account of the show since its humble beginnings in 1917. We were very fortunate to engage Mary Klaus as the author of the 176-page account of the state’s show. “Hold Your Horses! The Pennsylvania Farm Show at 100” chronicles the history of the event and relates personalized stories from the many individuals who have visited the Farm Show and created their own lasting experiences through the years. Mary has covered and written articles about the annual event and the state’s farm families for more than 35 years, making her the perfect person to tell this story. Copies of the book will be available throughout the show. Make sure you pick up your copy while visiting the complex.

We are hopeful that this Visitors’ Guide provides you with valuable information that enhances your educational experience at the 2016 show. The Foundation sincerely thanks the Guide’s advertisers for their involvement and participation since, without their help, this publication would not be possible.

Thank you for being a friend of the Pennsylvania Farm Show. Enjoy the show! Sincerely,

William L. Piper, Chairman Friends of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Foundation, Inc.

24 • Celebrating 100 Years History Instead, ambitions upgrades were planned, including fire safety, plumbing and electrical improvements. The North- east Hall was added in 1990. In 1975, the Farm Show Commission voted to charge $1 a vehicle for parking. (That fee rose to $15 over the years.) New traditions came to the Farm Show in the 1980s, including expanding the show from five to six days. The PA Food Marketplace came in 1981 and the Food Court followed 10 years later. The show began to emphasize consumers. The Pennsylvania dairy industry began to sponsor butter sculptures in 1991, a tradition that continues. FARM SHOW GOES MODERN, 1992-2017 The Farm Show schedule grew from six to eight days in 1992. The 1990s brought many changes to the Farm Show, including the addition of such exotic animals as ostriches, emus, llamas, alpacas and reindeer. A 1,600-pound buffalo named Bentley came to the Farm Show from 2000 to 2008. The state Agriculture Department hosted international trade shows in the late 1990s, attracting businesses and visitors from 31 countries. The 1998 show even included a NASA International Space Station Program. In 2001, officials broke ground for an $86.2 million expansion that added eight acres to the complex and modernized other parts of it. Later, an energy and utility cost reduction program went into effect and a renovation project updated the older parts of the complex, even using art deco colors as a salute to the past. In 1993, the Pennsylvania Farm Show Scholarship Foun- dation began presenting scholarships to Farm Show exhibitors who are 4-H or FFA members. New Farm Show attractions during this era included carriage racing, tractor square dancing, a Wood-mobile high- lighting the state’s lumber industry, the PA Preferred Cu- linary Connection, Farm Show Learning Stations, a Food Court Annex, Farm Show detectives and “Today’s Agricul- ture,” a 13,000 square foot exhibit which included fields with crops, a silo and a large barn filled with farm animals. The Farm Show began offering free wireless internet service. As the Farm Show enters its second century, it continues to grow in popularity. Admission remains free while the experience remains priceless.

Pennsylvania has nearly craft 30 cider producers

Though hard ciders are only recently bubbling back up in popularity, the craft of cider making is centuries old and was once the drink of choice for English settlers. Early American cider was fermented using the crabapples the colonists found. As fruit tree nurseries began to be cultivated all over the Northeast—an effort lead by John Chapman (more famously known as John- ny Appleseed) —new apples varieties were used in hard ciders and both production and consumption increased.

Today, there is a renewed thirst for hard ciders— the fastest growing segment in the alcoholic beverage category. Pennsylvania’s rich apple heritage and steadfast industry have poised producers for success in crafting the highest quality ciders.

78 • Celebrating 100 Years All Fairs Lead to the 100th Pennsylvania Farm Show

Pennsylvania’s 109 county and community fairs are the gateway to our agriculture industry for more than five million visitors each year. They showcase the best from the farm, field, home, kitchen and woodshop. This year, we are happy to highlight the fairs as a part of the 100th Pennsylvania Farm Show. The state’s fairs are an important part of Pennsylvania’s heritage and they are vital components of their individual communities. All roads from these Fairs have led us to this event – the 100th Pennsylvania Farm Show. Fairs will be recognized as a part of the official opening ceremonies on Saturday, January 9, as well as during fairs and Public Officials Day on Wednes- day, January 13. The fairs add to the overall collective history of the Pennsylvania Farm Show. And the history of this show is in large part the story of Pennsylvania. The strength of the commonwealth and the strength of Pennsylvania agriculture lie in its their diversity. This show highlights that diversity. The vastness of the agriculture industry – from animals and food to equipment and services – allows Pennsylvania agriculture to touch everybody in some way, shape or form each day. And many of our residents access those touch points with their local fairs.
