In 1831, a tradition was started in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, which would go on to become a staple of the summertime agriculture expos. This August 9, the Huntingdon County Fair is celebrating its 125th fair, located at their 69-acre site, which has evolved over the decades to boast hundreds of agricultural exhibits. Ranging from equine shows to wine tasting, the Huntingdon County Fair provides areas of interest for almost everyone. Mr. Speaker, as a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, I am proud to rise today to congratulate the people of Huntingdon County and those countless volunteers and community members who have made this time-honored event a Pennsylvania tradition, including the parents and friends of 4-H, FAA youth members, and the Huntingdon County Agricultural Association. Here's to wishing them 125 more successful fairs for the next generation and generations to come. ____________________
