Fair guide available
The 2007 Pennsylvania Fair Guide is now available, Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff said.
“Fairs are a great way to celebrate Pennsylvania’s rich agricultural heritage, and they provide travel destinations for millions of people each year,” Wolff said. “Fairs offer a glimpse at farm life for people who otherwise would not experience it. They also provide some excellent entertainment, food and fun.”
The 2007 fair guide provides information on fairs by region, including their locations and dates.
Pennsylvania is home to 115 county and community fairs, some dating to the 1700s. Last year, Wolff launched the department’s Century and Bicentennial Fair Program to honor the state’s longest-running agricultural fairs.
The Century and Bicentennial Fair Program recognizes fairs that have been operating for at least 100 and 200 years. Currently, there are 36 Century Fairs and four Bicentennial Fairs across the state.
Pennsylvania’s fairs work in conjunction with the Blue Ribbon Passport, an agritourism initiative born out of a partnership between the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs and the Department of Agriculture.

Dairy signs pact with Giant Eagle
Giant Eagle has begun carrying ice cream from Lancaster County-based Turkey Hill Dairy.
The company recently signed an agreement with Giant Eagle that will place Turkey Hill’s ice cream flavors on the shelves of 225 of the grocery chain’s stores, including 93 in the Pittsburgh area. Giant Eagle operates a store in the Fayette Plaza Shopping Center on Route 51 in North Union Township. Already a freezer staple in the Philadelphia and central Pennsylvania areas, the Giant Eagle deal is the biggest western Pennsylvania agreement ever for Turkey Hill and more than doubles the brand’s current availability in the area, a Turkey Hill spokesman said.
