The Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs has been in existence since 1912 and was formed to promote the growth and improvement of Agricultural Fairs, Associations and Societies within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That first year there v/ere Thirteen mem bers and we have steadily grown to our current membership of One-hundred and Twelve. Each Agricultural Fair, Association or Society has at its focal point the education and showcase of agriculture, horticulture, etc. and over Seven million fairgoers each year can attest to the quality of what we have to offer. At Fairs exhibitors compete for prize money, ribbons, or merely enjoy the competition. The following are only samples in which there is competition - livestock, hay & grain, vegetables, fruits, & nuts, baked and canned goods, flow ers, sewing, art, grange exhibits, con tests, and others. This can involve both young and old alike! Contact Fairs of your interest to see what areas of com petition are available.
