FARM SHOW - As Farm Show
1983 got underway Sunday, the
largest grand opening crowd ever,
was welcomed by Governor
Thornburgh and wife Ginny.
The Thornburghs' spent most of
the afternoon greeting the throngs
of people who turned out to salute
the Keystone state’s blue-ribbon
industry.
“Blue ribbons are nothing new to
Farm Show,” Thornburgh noted,
“And Pennsylvania agriculture
deserves a ‘blue ribbon 1
designation because it has become
the state’s number one industry.”
Yet amid the accolades for the
state’s number one money-maker,
Thornburgh took on the special
pleasure of recognizing Penn
sylvania other blue ribbon winner
football.
The Governor and the First Lady
were joined by Secretary of
Agriculture Penrose Hallowell and
wife Trish and Assistant USDA
Secretary Wilmer D. Mizell, Sr.
and wife Nancy. The group was
greeted by Sperry-New Holland’s
mechanical mouthpiece “Inno”
the robot sporting a blue and white
scarf and singing “Hail to the
Lions.”
The gubernatorial entourage
visited with machinery dealers,
made their way through the
livestock quarters, greeted a
Guernsey and then were tran
sported by a Clydesdale-drawn
Victorian carriage to the main
arena for opening ceremonies.
Following the governor’s
remarks, representatives of 22
state farm and food associations
presented him a variety of gifts
ranging from a Pennsylvania ham
to Penn State National Champion
sweatshirt.
The public participated in the
festivities by filling the large arena
and munched their way through
the commodity stands which
served up just about anything from
soup to nuts. —DT.
