PH: 717-776-3129 HARRISBURG - There’s an old Pennsylvania proverb that says Farm Show Week and bad weather go together. This idea has gained such acceptance that any type of “bad” weather in the Harrisburg area has residents talking about “Farm Show Weather.” Every year Farm Show officials keep their fingers crossed weatherwise. They look at weather reports of Farm Show Weeks begin ning with the first Farm Show in 1917. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office in Harrisburg provides the records which reveal that the average Farm Show over the 64-year period has ex perienced only two days of inclement weather. State Agriculture Secretary Penrose Hallowell, chairman of the State Farm Show Com mission, notes that there have been 36 Farm Show Weeks with less than one inch of snow, and 19 show weeks with no snow at all.

The four day shows in 1921 and 1922, the five day shows in 1934, 1953 and 1973 all shared this Farm Show record. The 1973 show broke all existing attendance records as more than 730,000 visitors flocked to Harrisburg in crisp, clear winter weather., “The biggest snowfalls m Farm Show history,” Hallowell said, “came in 1964 with 18 inches of snow on the ground, in 1918 with 16 inches and in 1970, when a Sunday night snowfall put 14 mches on the ground.
