HARRISBURG, Pa.—Everything we eat starts with agriculture, and in Pennsylvania agriculture has been celebrated at the Farm Show each January for the last 108 years. It is the official state fair, held indoors in the 1-million-square-foot Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, and it is so popular that with 60 acres of parking, it can still be tough to find a spot.

Pennsylvania children may be excused from school to attend because the Farm Show is considered a day of agriculture education.
