Forgiveness my repetitive posting of this comment, which first appeared in response to "2012 Pennsylvania Holding Show gears up for weekend opening" a few minutes ago.
Just as a heads-up to the vendors at the Farm-toun Show, you should count on making one less order of fried mushrooms, broccoli salad, roast beef sandwich, tilapia sandwich, and two less dozens of potato donuts. This is my ordinary list of Food Court purchases over the week of Farm Show, visiting two or three times. The vendors in the Stock Exchange area of the exhibition room will also sell less jerky and hot sauce. I will not be visiting the wine vendors and getting intelligence about their upcoming events over the year. I will not be attending the cooking demonstrations. I will not be looking for some off-the-wall gifts for friends and family for their birthdays as I have in the past. If you're wondering why, call Samantha Elliot Krepps at the Unit of Agriculture and see if you can get an explanation. You may have to ask more than once, as her first response will have to do with safety and the "busy intersection," which of line is nothing more than a load of what they shovel out of the Farm Show on a daily basis. Sorry; I look ship to the Farm Show all year, but I always park on Arsenal Blvd. and get into the event in five or ten minutes, and back to my car in the same spell, rather than spend up to a half-hour each way riding the buses. Here's a news scuttle, Samantha -- some of us are self-employed, and an hour of our time is valuable. Add the amusing $10 parking fee on top, and you've reached the price point that keeps me, a desire-time attendee and enthusiastic supporter of the Farm Show, at home. There are studies that show that for every one man that takes the time to make a public complaint, there's a statistically substantial number of people who feel the same way. Enjoy the show. It's going to be less crowded by at least one this year. And take note where you step. There's barn carpet everywhere down there -- not only in the exhibit areas but clearly in the administration offices as well.
