Racing Proceeds Designated
To State and County Fairs
Pennsylvania Agriculture
Secretary Jim McHale
disclosed that nearly $l.B
million went to state and
county lairs and statewide
agricultural organizations
from harness racing
proceeds in 1973.
McHale made the an
nouncement at an address to
the Pennsylvania State
Association of County Fairs
62nd annual convention at
the Host Inn here. „
McHale said the fairs and
organizations received
$1,786,192 compared with
$1,678,826 the previous year.'
This increased revenue,
McHale said, will enable the
department for the first time
“to distribute $lOO,OOO to the
fairs this year for capital
expenditures.”
The breakdown of the total
disbursement of $1,786,192
- $1,466,403 to 105 fairs;
$99,770 to 52 Futufe Fanners
of America groups; $167,437
to 67 4-H funds; and $52,581 to
nine statewide organizations
that hold agricultural
competitions.
The money is used
primarily to reimburse fairs
and organizations for the
premiums they have paid in
competitions.
McHale noted that “this
was the second year that
state and. county fair
associations in Pennsylvania
received their shares of
harness racing revenues
earlier and easier.
“In 1972,” he said, “we
started using a new and
simplified form which
permitted associations to
receive 90 percent of their
allotment about five months
earlier than usual.
Associations estimated their
returns on the new form and
they were paid accordingly.
That left us with a ten per
cent balance to pay the
associations following our
annual audit.”
McHale told his audience
that “more than 6 million
people attend our fairs an
nually. Many of these people
come from urban areas and
know little about farming -
about how vital the farmer is
to the quality of life of every
citizen. That bridge of un
derstanding can be built at
our fairs."
McHale said “the value of
your fairs is that they bring
farm and city people
together and underscore the
common bond between the
two groups. They can begin
to understand each others
problems and concerns and
perhaps join together in
