Pennsylvania Farm Show
January 9-14, 1993
Farm Show Complex
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Dear Friends of Agriculture
I would like to extend this cordial invitation to you and your family
to attend the 77th Pennsylvania State Farm Show in Harrisburg, January
9-14. Agriculture is the pride of Pennsylvania and the Farm Show is the
pride of Pennsylvania Agriculture.
Pennsylvania has good reason to be proud of its agricultural com
munity, the leading force in our economy for 300 years. Our 52,000 farm
families are some of the most productive in the world. Cash income
from farm marketings in 1991 was $3.49 billion and agricultural exports
from the Keystone State now total $347 million annually.
In addition, agriculture stimulates $3B billion in economic activity
and provides jobs for 20 percent of the state's workforce. The incredible
efficiency and productivity of Pennsylvania's farmers and agribu
sinesses have kept the industry number one.
The Farm Show is part of Pennsylvania's rich agricultural heritage.
Not only is it the premier showcase of this great industry, it's also the
largest indoor agricultural exposition in the country, and it's free!
As an educational forum, the Farm Show has been instrumental in
keeping farmers and consumers abreast of advances made in agricul
ture. As a marketing forum, the show gives farmers a chance to compare
equipment, services and supplies, while providing agribusiness with an
opportunity to develop new markets. As a social and planning forum, it
offers agricultural organizations a perfect location to meet during the
week to discuss key issues and plan for the future.
The State Farm Show is committed to exhibiting the best that agri
culture has to offer and exhibitors will be handsomely rewarded for
their efforts this year To attract top quality agricultural products and
livestock, a record $202,250 in premiums is being offered this year. The
Farm Show has come a long way since 1917, with $ 735 in premiums and
440 entries.
I hope you will be able to join us this year as we pay tribute to our
number one industry and the farm families who keep it number one.

Alternate Routes To Farm Show Outlined
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) —Alternate routes have been
developed to aid in reducing any
potential backup of traffic on
Route 81 North and South and
Route 22/322 East into the Farm
Show this year. Authorities have
long been concerned about the
potential accident possibilities
because of the intense funnel of
traffic attempting to enter the show
off the Cameron Street access cor
ridor from these routes.
This year alternate routes will
have three message boards and
signs marking different routes.
They are:
From a northerly direction on
Route 81, the signs will be posted
at Exit 22 directing the traffic off
of Route 81 then north on Front
Street to turn right onto Lingles
town Road. Traffic signs will then
direct the traffic to turn onto
Industrial Road which leads to the
HACC/Farm Show parking lots.
Traveling on Route 22/322
East, the signs will direct traffic
off of Route 22/322 south onto
Front Street (Rockville Exit) and
proceed south on Front Street and
turn left onto the Linglestown
Road. Traffic signs will then direct
the traffic to turn onto Industrial
Road which leads to the
HA'CC?Farm Show parking lots.
From a southernly direction
on Route 81, traffic will be
