I went last year not knowing what to expect, and was quite surprised to find quite a bit of good information. This year looks to be even better.
I learned a lot about wood boilers, and some timber handling equipment the last time. I missed a whole section on portable saw mills being demonstrated. (found it while walking out to the parking lot at the end of the show :evil: ) I won't make that mistake again. I see this year, a whole section on alternative energy is being added.
Pennsylvania Energy Harvest
Renewable agricultural energy has positioned Pennsylvania farmers to capture a market for developing and using a new generation of power sources and fuels. More than 40 exhibitors will be on hand to share the latest information on wind, solar, biogas, biofuels and biomass technologies in the state.
The show runs from Saturday, Jan. 6th through Saturday, Jan. 13th, and Held at the State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA at the corner of N. Cameron St. and Wildwood Park Dr. Admission is FREE for all events except the Thursday, Friday and Saturday PRCA Circuit Finals Rodeo located in the Large Arena during Farm Show Week. (parking will be $5.00 per vehicle)
Weather permitting, I'll be out there on Sunday, Jan. 7th. I plan to have a full schedule while out there, but would be glad to meet anyone else who may be attending the same day. If you've never been there, be warned this place is huge and easy to get yourself all turned around, (The Pennsylvania Farm Show is the largest indoor agricultural event in America. It houses 25 acres under roof, spread throughout 11 buildings including three arenas) and it's not a good idea to wear your best shoes while attending this event, :wink: though, you'll want to make sure they are comfortable.
