Farm Show Schedule
(Continued tram Pag* A 1)
The Chuck Wagon food is pre
pared by 15 people working for a
caterer and sold by dozens of vol
unteers who are members of the
PLA.
Snyder said the volunteers sold -
2,248 units of lamb stew, 20,625
pork barbeque sandwiches, 18,500
roast beef sandwiches, and 6,000
ham and cheese sandwiches.
“It helped considerably,” Snyd
er said of making Saturday open to
die public and making Thursday
the last day. “I’ve seen a lot more
families. And the horse show day,
the horse pulling day, is still the
biggest day.
The day change for the Farm
Show was approved two years ago
by the state Farm Show Commis
sion which was acting mainly to
help exhibitors get out on the road
home before weekend traffic
caused congestions and increased
risks.
The result seems to have been a
stimulation of interest in the show.
Several hundred animals were
turned away this year. The dairy
show was bigger. More people
showed up overall.
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture Secretary Boyd Wolff
said he was also very pleased with
the results. He is chairman of the
Farm Show Commission.
- all per
“I thought we had great atten
dance, great weather and a great
time, but I’m most pleased with the
fact that I talked to commercial
exhibitors who told me they were
pleased with the level of interest in
their products,” Wolff said.
"I am also pleased with the
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 18, 1992-Al7
$25,000 price paid for the'Farm
Show steer. That’s a big record
that may stand for a while,” Wolff
said.
Gene Schenck, press secretary
for Wolff said, “I think the com-
mission is very obviously pleased
with the decision to go to opening
the show on Saturyda with the idea
to attract people. They certainly
were correct in their assumption.
“I don’t think anybody disputes
the fact that it was a good move.
Every day was a big crowd,”
Schenck said.
Events such as the youth rodeo,
the selection for the supreme dairy
cow, and others were packed.
“It could be the (good) wealh-
cr,” Schcnck said Thursday. "But
even today, last year they were
tearing down at noon. This year
people were showing products
right up till closing time.”
The dates for the 1993 show
have been released. The 76th Farm
Show is to run from Jan. 9 to Jan
14
