Visit to the PA Farm Show

Last week, we were asked by friends to attend the PA Farm Show with them. It was SO much fun.  I didn't know that the PA Farm Show is the largest agricultural show in the country and this was the 98th year.

And, there was so much to see, learn and do.  We learned that PA is not only the nation's largest producer of mushrooms, but of hardwood.

We saw lots of animals (kiddos were thrilled) and were amazed and just how beautiful some of them were.

Kiddo #1 was happy that at the Penndot booth, he was able to get his study guide for his driver's permit and license. :-)  The kids also all posed in front of a snow plow, many of which have been getting lots of use these past 2 months in PA.

They played a few rounds of miniature golf

and see some of a tractor pull

We viewed PA artifacts, including a weapon used in the Battle of Gettysburg

and got to see submissions from 4H participants from all over the state (made kiddos look forward to entering their projects this year)

We sampled apples grown in PA, saw a life size butter sculpture made from the milk from PA dairy cows, learned about PA's national parks, fishing and other natural resources.

What a fun and educational day!  :-)
