The 2024 Pennsylvania Farm Show may be over, but the echoes of clinking mugs and sizzling fries linger. While official attendance numbers haven't landed, one thing is clear: those who came, ate! Food court vendors tallied their bounty, revealing some sweet and savory highlights:
- Milkshake Mania: A whopping 18,000 gallons of milkshakes were slurped up, proving Pennsylvanians have an insatiable thirst for dairy delight.
- Mushroom Mountain: 7,400 pounds of mushrooms went missing, satisfying cravings for earthy, umami goodness.
- Fry Frenzy: 1,800 pounds of fries vanished from plates, confirming their universal appeal as the ultimate comfort food.
- Apple Appetites: 175 bushels of apples disappeared, proving that crunchy, wholesome goodness never goes out of style.
These numbers follow a record-breaking 2023 Farm Show, which saw similar milkshake mania (18,000+ gallons!) and even hungrier appetites for mushrooms (9,000 pounds) and baked potatoes (12,000 pounds).
It's clear that the Farm Show isn't just about showcasing agriculture; it's a culinary carnival where everyone wins. Whether you're a milkshake purist, a mushroom devotee, or just a general fry-enthusiast, the Farm Show has something to tempt your taste buds.
