Since 1972 our fair has been the showcase for some of the area’s best agricultural products and home art projects.
What sets us apart from other local carnivals and festivals (besides our donuts!!) is that we partner with the PA Department of Agriculture to offer contest and display opportunities in the areas of farm products, gardening, baking and canned goods, floral arranging, needlework, crafts and photography, and many more. We encourage you to get involved in our competitive exhibits.
