The Huntingdon County Fair has been one of the premier showcases for agriculture in Pennsylvania. The Fair's President Jim Davis says the staff looks to make the exhibits not only fun, but educational too.

"Mary Hall is filled with festivals needlework, flowers, wines, grains, and they've made it interactive so that you're not standing in a line looking at these things."

But Davis claims it's not all based around agriculture.

"This is an agricultural fair, however we have all the other supplements that make a fair great."

Many local businesses put up exhibits, but Davis says it's not limited to Huntingdon County.

"As I look around central Pennsylvania, which includes Huntingdon County and its surrounding counties, cause we're an open fair, everything looks great."

Overall, Davis says so far so good,  and they're not slowing down yet.

"I think we're very fortunate, we have many blessings, and our attendance has been great, and participation has been super"
