Visiting a Pennsylvania Fair is exciting, trying to figure out exactly when, where and how to get there is a bit complicated. Pennsylvania is a big state with 67 counties and almost all the counties have their own fair and annual events.
Besides choosing a PA Fair you can also choose a Pennsylvania Festival or Annual Event. There's always something happening in PA. Having a guide to not only tell you when these events are happening but also show you pictures and a brief history of each event helps save you time, gas, and money.
Pennsylvania is known to have the best Agriculture in the world and sponsoring a Pennsylvania Fair is each PA County's own way of showing off their agriculture, livestock and Blue Ribbon baked goods and recipes.
You never know what you'll see at a Pennsylvania Fair. Just as each county is different, each fair is different. The Commonwealth has such a wide variety of ethnic groups and ways of producing their own agriculture that just strolling through the exhibits is worth the price of admission into a PA Fair. Yet, there is so much more involved when organizing a county fair.
The midway is full of games, prizes, exciting rides and live freak shows (sorry, I hate calling them that). You'll find lots of exhibits with gadgets you can buy and an endless choice of great food. The grandstand has entertainment, stock car demolition derby, tractor pulls and pig races. The food is an experience in itself from comfort food popular in Pennsylvania to the strange tasty treats you can only find at a Pennsylvania Fair.
