For those readers who have lived in Pennsylvania, you'll remember the Farm Show that always takes place the second week in January. Farmers from all around bring their prized animals to be judged. They spend the week there, living off of Cheezits and catching any sleep they can, even if it means they're the show.
The REAL reason why most Pennsylvanians come to the show is for the food. (If you're pregnant plug your ears) They have homemade ice cream, soups made from their grown vegetables, waffles with fresh flavored honey and ice cream, thick chocolate milkshakes, apple dumplings, maple cotton candy, and any fried vegetable you can imagine.
The Flavored Honey
Mushrooms all dolled up
A few tips
The things you came to see at the farm show are not always the most popular
For example, the maintenance man's getting around truck:
or the Chicken Coop:
A mighty FINE Chicken Coop I might add for a very reasonable price! I might have to consider this purchase in a few years.
Order just the powder and not the doughnut
Horse brushes are not for our own hair, but children don't know that
Neither are stuffed alpacas good for feeding their cousins, the llama
Bring lots of wipes and don't wear white:
Don't argue with these two! You never win and it only makes it worse.
Plan to have lots of fun! The Farm Show, where a kid can be a kid!

LOVE that you guys went to the farm show. You guys always do the most fun things!! You are a cute mommy and your kids are darling.
Aaaah the farm show. Brings back good memories. That is awesome you got to go. I guess it's not too far to Harrisburg from where you are at.
Looks fun! Hey I remember you telling me you read The Help. We are considering reading it for our bookclub but want to know if it is a clean book. By this I mean, does it have bad language, graphic sex scenes, etc? Is it PG or R? Just post on my blog when you have a minute. Thanks!
Out of those books I have only read the Memory Keepers Daughter. I didn't really like it because I thought it was so sad. It was well written and I couldn't put the book down. It has been a year since I have read it, but it seems like there were a few paragraphs I had to skip over. It is probably rated PG-13. This isn't a book I would highly recommend, but it is not one I would say to stay away from either. So there is my opinion, take it or leave it.
I LOVE and Miss the FARM SHOW. Way to stay true and loyal to it!
oh, the food!!!!!!!!!!! I am bummed we didn't go down and meet you- I thought about just jumping in the car and surprising you, but didn't...obviously.
Yeah, I don't know why I only made it once the entire time I lived in PA. I seem to remember a sculpture made out of butter...?
