Pa. Farm Show
(Continued from Page 1)
cording to Wellington Smith,
Farm Show director, (he
change was made at the
request by many of the
livestock exhibitors due to
the enormous crowds and
the danger to the poeple
from the livestock. “People
crowd so close to the animals
they don’t seem to realize
the danger” he said.
The building itself has
gone through many
renovations, which are sure
to please both the exhibitor
and visitor alike.
A new sprinkler system
has been put in throughout
the entire complex, along
with a fire alarm system.
The system is connected
with the city fire companies.
Smoke detectors and heat
detectors have also been
installed.
A new roof has replaced
the 25 year old, leaking one,
and the large arena received
a new roof in the process.
A new fire wall was built
between the main com
mercial exhibits floor and
where the livestock are kept.
Smith said the building was
updated to meet fire and
panic regulations of the
State. “Fire protection was a
basic problem, doors didn’t
work, etc” he said. “The
corridor was necessary
because of the distance from
the center of the building to
the outside exits” he added.
New wiring and power
circuiting has been installed.
So now when a circuit
overloads, exhibitors will not
realize it, as the'problem will
automatically be corrected.
Fire protected ceilings
have been added to the'
cafeteria, offices, and
mooting rnnmg
Many meeting rooms have
been added, which the Farm
Show will be renting out to
many organizations.
The old Butler barn has
been tom down and a new,
larger building, called the
North West building has
been built in its place. It is in
the same location, but will
now be the beef cattle bam.
Hie most notable im-
provement in the building
, will be it’s new paint job
which was done through a
government aid program,
CETA.
The small arena has bad
it’s woodeb floors and seats
replaced with concrete
floors, metal seats, and a
new paint job. The broadcast
and radio booth which was at
the far end of the small
arena has moved to a new
location in the new livestock
corridor to the large arena.
The old curved corridor was
replaced with a straighter,
more direct one.
According to Smith, the
Farm Show “lost 26,000
square feet from the main
floor” because the new fire
wall. Of this, “15,000 square
feet was exhibitor space.
Those people had been in the
Farm Show for so many
years, so we had to find
space for them” Smith said.
The space they found for
these exhibitors was in the
poultry building. This year
the poultry will be in the
dairy bam. Floor space for
the poultry has decreased,
but the layers will be stacked
higher to make up this dif
ference.
Smith feels there will be
new traffic problems with
the new highway system to
the north of the area, ex
pecting a lot of trarric.
-“There will be new traffic
problems, but we will take it
by ear” he said. “We will
still have parking at the
Harrisburg- Area Com
munity College” he said.
There are some changes in
the livestock schedules. The
dairv, beef and horcp

changed, with sheep and
swine remaining the same.
