The Shapiro Administration is geared up to unveil the theme of the much-anticipated 2025 Pennsylvania Farm Show, along with the Pennsylvania State Fair™. This announcement from the Pennsylvania Government website, a longstanding tradition marking the upcoming agricultural festival, will take place at the Oregon Dairy Farmstead in Lititz. The farmstead, representing the state's agricultural heritage, will serve as the backdrop for revealing this year's theme, which will highlight Pennsylvania's agricultural and pastoral efforts.
On the fiscal frontier, the PA Farm Show is not just a stage for agrarian prowess but a substantial economic juggernaut with an impact ringing in at over $40 million annually. Every January, the event ushers in roughly half a million visitors who immerse in the agrarian showcase and are part of igniting an economic bonanza supporting over 5,600 jobs, and fermenting north of $100,000 in local taxes.
Several key figures are expected to attend the occasion, including Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and DCED Secretary Rick Siger, who are leading efforts toward innovation and sustainability in the sector. Additionally, contributions will come from PA Farm Show Complex and Expo Center Director Sharon Myers, Oregon Dairy Co-Owner Maria Forry, State Representative Steven C. Mentzer, and the current PA Fair Queen Erica Teagarden, all of whom play important roles in Pennsylvania's agricultural story.
The administration's commitment to agriculture and tourism was reflected in statements leading up to the event, highlighting a clear strategy to integrate these sectors into the state's economic growth. On Thursday, September 26, at 2 p.m., attendees will gather at the picturesque Lititz farmstead to learn more. Press members interested in covering the event can refer to the RSVP instructions provided by Shannon Powers, who is available for any inquiries.
