Those points listed
favoring a county farm show
are:
•Lancaster County ranks
first In Pennsylvania and
12th in the United States and
needs a county fair to display
this agricultural rating.
-More non-farm people
would be attracted by the
larger number of exhibits.
-A better opportunity
would be provided to display
farm products, educational
activities and other services.
- Such a fair could serve as
an added tourist attraction
for the area.
-A county fair would
provide an opportunity to
select county winners.
- Residents in those
communities which don’t
bold farm shows would have
an opportunity to par
ticipate.
-Some commercial
concerns prefer to par
ticipate in a county fair
rather than a community
farm show.
Those points against a
county fair are listed as
For
Interior
Farm
Mings
loQ£ws:
- With six community fairs
held yearly In Lancaater
County, a county show Is not
needed.
-There are no available
facilities (or a county fair.
-Such a fair would be
costly and require extensive
financing.
-There is a general ob
jection to the undesirable
midway which is necessary
to make such a fair finan
cially feasible.
-The majority of the
present community farm
show committee people
“may" not be willing to
participate in a county fair.
- The former Lancaster
County Fair, bdd last in the
early 1930’5, folded because
of the undesirable midway
and lack of agricultural
support.
