The 1986 PA State Holstein Show introduced Snyder as the chairman of the board of trustees at Penn State University. Snyder told the group at ringside that it was a privilege to have the state show in the new ag arena here. “Thank you for your support,” Snyder said. “You are the people who made it possible. It’s quite amazing that more than 5,000 people had a hand in building this ag arena and barns. We at Penn State are simply the fortunate ones to have it here,” he said. The premier breeder of the 248 head show was Gordon Wood. The premier exhibitor was Queens- Manor.
