BIS-Lancasttr Farming, Saturday, September 6,1986
YORK - Although the thrills
and chills of the midway draw
many people to the York Fair, the
heart and soul of the event is still
agricultural. This year during the
nine days (Sept. 5 to 13) when the
country meets the city, fairgoers
can enjoy a variety of rural at
tractions.
Horticulture Hall, located in the
northeast corner of the
Fairgrounds, is the place for
exhibits from the bountiful farms,
fields and kitchens of the Mid-
Atlantic region. It is here where
growers enter their prize-winning
fruits and vegetables, including
Pennsylvania’s largest pumpkin,
and compete for York Fair and
Guinness World records to win as
much as $l,OOO in premiums.
The shelves in the Hall are
stacked with canned fruits,
vegetables, and meats, as well as
jams, jellies, marmalades,
preserves and butters made with
fruit.
Adjacent to Horticulture Hall,
Old Main is filled with a treasure
