Although Pennsylvania does not have an official state fair, the Commonwealth is home to at least 100 local fairs and festivals, notes State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) and this is the heart of the season.
“These events showcase not only agricultural feats of residents but are also sources of family entertainment with many having amusement park rides, a variety of specialty foods and live musical performances,” he said. “They are a great way to enjoy the warm weather and have fun with the whole family.”
