Northeast Building. Governor’s Day- Get your seat early for Sunday’s activites in the Large Arena. The program begins at 10 a.m. with a non-demonia-tional worship service, followed by the Governor’s Review at 11 a.m. when the arena becomes a showcase of Pennsylvania agriculture and a salute to the 26 commodity representatives. Enjoy the entertainment of the Hegeman String Band, the draft horse hitched competition and the Junior Tamburit zans of South Hills. Hegeman String Band- Part of the famous Mummers Parade on New Year’s Day, the Hegeman String will perform at 12 noon on Sunday in the Large Arena. Horse Shows- Horse shows and contests are always popular with Farm Show visitors and therefore dominate the entertainment programs in the Large Arena. The action includes two rodeo programs, judging in Belgain, Pcrcheron and Clydesdale classes, draft horse hitched classes, and the exciting horse and pony pulling contests. More than 100 horses are expected to compete fen- prize money throughout the week. Horse And Pony Pulling- Fifty teams will enter the Large Arena on Tuesday and Wednesday evening for the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. The action finds several classes of horses and ponies pulling a weighted sled, attempting to outdistance their competitors. Horticulture Center- A variety of horticulture exhibits are planned for the second floor of the Northeast Building. Not only will they add beauty to the area, but they should inspire your own landscaping efforts as well. Ice Sculptures- Armed with chain saws and ice picks, culinary students from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania will delight visitors with their creativity and skillful designs carved from ice. The sculpting will only be done once, in front of the Main Lobby. Judges* Sixty-eight judges from ten states and Canada have been invited to preside over the competition in 30 Farm Show departments. The judges come from all walks of life, from school teachers to occupational experts to hobbyists. Some will only judge two classes (hitched horses) and some judge as many as 2SO classes (poultry). Junior Livestock Sale- The Junior Livestock Sale on Thursday serves as a proud salute to the young people of Pennsylvania agriculture, recognizing the dedication and achievements of 4-H and FFA members involved in junior market livestock programs. Earning from the auction go directly to the young exhibitors, often enabling them to pursue careers in agriculture. We invite you to come and support this year’s sale! Junior Tamburitzans Of South Hills- One of six groups that belong to the Duques ne University Tamburitzan’s Community School Program, this young group of students stages a performance similar to that of big Tambies who performed here last year. The juniors are also being trained in the folk dancing and music that represents the eastern European countries. Main Floor Exhibits- In accordance with the desires of the commercial exhibitors, the doors of the Main Building will be open at 9 a.m. and close each night at 8 p.m. The livestock bams will remain open until 9 p.m., and some of the shows in the Large Arena will actually last a bit later than 9 p.m. (The exception is Sunday night, when everything closes at 6 p.m.) Milking Parlor- Over 200 dairy cows are milked twice daily in a modem milking parlor in the North Building. The facility is a miniature version of the milk houses found on the commercial dairy farms. Our accommodations are unique among dairy shows because the facilities are approved by State Milk Sanitarians for the production and sale of fluid milk. Northeast Building- The contracted completion date is not until April 1,1993, but progress on the new 82,000 square foot Northeast Building was so far ahead of schedule that occupancy permits were being secured for use during Farm Show Week. If all goes well, the first floor will be transformed into a horse bam, alleviating congestion in the Northwest Building, while providing greater safety and much better crowd flow, the second level will be the Family Living and Horticulture Center. Novelties- T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and toys with the Farm Show logo will be sold from several locations throughout the Complex. Your trip won’t be com plete without one of these.
