Expanded livestock and dairy exhibits and professional wrestling are just two of the things that will make this year’s Lycoming County Fair — which is the 151st edition of the event — a little bit more special. That’s the word from Lycoming County Fair Association President Rocky Reed.
“We are really looking forward to this year’s fair,” Reed told Webb Weekly. “As usual, we have a wide variety of things to offer people. And we are very excited to be offering professional wrestling this year which should give us a very unique attraction for fairgoers.”
The fair will be an excellent way to display and highlight Lycoming County’s agricultural bounty, particularly through the expanded dairy and livestock exhibits.
