NEW ATTRACTIONS

The 2015 Pennsylvania Farm Show will have many new attractions, including:

• Fill a Glass with Hope — Donate money to help get fresh milk to Pennsylvanians in need through the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association Fill a Glass with Hope project. Funds benefit the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank’s milk distribution program, the first of its kind in the nation. Donations will be accepted at the Weis Markets booth and the food court all week long.

• New high-tech Woodmobile — The new Pennsylvania Hardwoods Development Council Woodmobile adds a new look, touch-screen technology and more videos to the interior, offering more ways to learn about Pennsylvania’s nation-leading hardwoods industry.

• Celebrity chef — Aaron McCargo Jr., winner of “The Next Food Network Star” and star of “Big Daddy’s House,” will appear on the PA Preferred Culinary Connection stage at noon and 2 p.m. Sunday. Aaron will whip up recipes inspired by many years of culinary experience.

• Food court — A switch by many vendors to using high oleic soybean oil will make for healthier food court staples and improve kitchen performance. New items include fried pickles, grilled cheeseburgers, soft pretzels and pork nachos.

• Lumberjacks demonstrate logging events — Watch an exhibition of lumberjacking events such as ax throwing; crosscut sawing; springboard, standing and underhand chops; and the hot saw by the Pennsylvania Professional Lumberjack Organization. Members will demonstrate multiple wood-harvesting techniques and horse-drawn logging at 6 p.m. Sunday, in the large arena. Horse-drawn logging demonstrations will also be staged through the week.

• Family Ag Olympics — Compete while learning about agriculture through 10 stations in the new Farm Show Ag Olympics at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Equine Arena.
