HARRISBURG - The cor
nucopia, a Latin term which has
come to signify prosperity, has
also evolved into a symbol for
America’s agricultural bounty.
This symbolism was considered
when naming the state’s only
dinner which offers a tribute to the
entire agricultural and food in
dustry community, according to
Pennsylvania State Council of
Farm Organization President Ivo
V. Otto, Jr.
Otto noted that the final plans
are underway for the annual feast,
set for Monday, Feb. 9 at the
Hershey Convention Center. The
event begins with a 6 p.m.

reception, followed by a 7 p.m,
buffet.
Keystone Cornucopia tickets will
be available at the door for $3O per
person. However, a $5 discount is
available to people who mention
this newspaper when placing their
order. Otto said the discount has
been extended from Feb. 4 because
the ticket order phone number was
inadvertantly not included in ads
which ran prior to that date.
“We feature Pennsylvnaia
produced foods stuffs,” Otto said,
“and offer an environment for
fellowship. We also use this dinner
as an occasion to offer a deep
‘thank you’ to the State Legislature

“Even though we invite
legislators to be our guests, we do
not see this dinner as a forum to
seek approval for specific pieces of
legislation or policy. There are
other times and other dinners for
that purpose. This dinner is a
celebration! ” he continued.
Industry, farmer, legislative and
regulatory government response
have been positive, Otto said.
This year’s event will feature a
few changes from year’s past, he
continued. All ticket holders will be
assigned seating, thus alleviating
congestion in the move from
