First I do want to apologize for not doing a New Years' day post. I always do one and I completely forgot. This will be that post.
Today was our trip to the PA Farm Show. Normally we go on Wednesday for the sheep to shawl. Due to schedules we just could not work it for that to happen. We had to do a bit of math to figure out when was the last time we attended. That was 2019, last year it was canceled no one went. The year before, 2020 e had car trouble and didn't want to chance it. For us, it has been three years since we had been there.
For those of you that are not aware, this is the largest agricultural show in the country. The state has built its own complex to hold it in. There is no midway like other state and country fares just ag. With that said, when we arrive in the late morning we end up parking in the outer lots. That is all that is available. Today we go to park in the front lot. That is how dead it was this year as far as attendance.
With the crowds just not there it was very easy to move around. With the lack of attendance, there was also a lack of vendors and animals as well. We figured it was about half full. All of my fiber-related friends didn't show this year. It would have been nice to see them, I get it. Also on the other side of the spectrum, you have to praise the ones that did come out.
We had a really good time despite the lesser amount of things to see. We still made some wonderful connections. In the end, we only spent half the time we normally do when we attend the show. We look forward to next year being back to normal.
