Farm Show Fare
By Susan N. Denaro, Esquire

E

very January for about the last 20 years, we have watched

news coverage of the Pennsylvania Farm Show and heard

the rave reviews about the milkshakes. And every January,

we agreed that we would attend the following year. But for some
reason, we never made the trip to Harrisburg; until this year.

Although I've always considered myself as more of a city girl, as

we headed to Harrisburg via Route 183, right past the farm that

was in my family (on my mother's side) for multiple generations, I
was pleased to get a timely reminder of my farming roots.

The farm was taken during the Blue Marsh Project, but the

lane I used to ride the horse down to get the mail from the post

office box on Route 183 is still visible. I spent the remainder of
the drive to the Farm Show recalling memories of the carefree
times I spent there.

Aside from horseback riding, my most vivid memories of

the old farm involved the food grown on it, such as the bright

red currants we would pick and eat while they were still warm
from the sun. Yummy baked goods were always waiting for
us on the large, weathered farm table. A favorite treat was

fresh churned ice cream served on malted waffles left over

after a Sunday dinner of fried chicken and waffles. If there
were enough, sometimes we would even have them again
for breakfast the next day.

Imagine my delight after spotting someone carrying

a plate of waffles and ice cream almost as soon as we entered the

massive Farm Show Arena. It was about 10 in the morning, and we

hadn't had breakfast. It seemed like destiny and our search began for
all things frozen.

We stopped to split an apple cider donut to fortify us for our

mission. The donut was covered in cinnamon sugar and still warm

from the fryer. Although it was on the small side, it was well worth
the $1.25 as the apple flavor shone through every bite.
