Day 10 - 40° and sunny - Spring Meadows Park and Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex
Today started off with a brisk walk with Molly and Billy at the park before we headed off to the Pennsylvania Farm Show http://www.farmshow.state.pa.us/. We were meeting our friends Lance and Doris.
The Pennsylvania Farm show is the largest indoor agricultural exposition in the country and it is FREE! The show, located in Harrisburg, is about 20 minutes from the Red Cardinal B&B and runs through this weekend. The 96th annual show is expected to attract over 400,000 visitors, and the 4 of us will be part of the crowd.
Billy and I have attended the farm show since we moved here in 2003. There are so many facets of the agricultural industry in Pennsylvania, and you can see it all under one roof - agricultural school representatives, riding events, animals, auctions, 4H clubs, farms, cooking demonstrations and produce of all kinds.
Since we moved to Carlisle, we have developed a greater appreciation for the agricultural community. We live on a country road where there are large farms or neighbors who grow their own food. This community works tirelessly and they are proud of what the land has to offer them. We have learned so much, and now we raise our own produce to use in our breakfasts at the B&B. We even bought chickens this year for “fresh eggs”.
It took us about 4 hours to get through the show, so that was a good walk for the day.
If you are looking for something to do this weekend, come stay with us and go on over to the show. I think you will have a great time.
