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.
