Over this past weekend my friend Heidi, who lives in the Harrisburg area, recommended that we visit the Annual Farmers Fair that took place in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. The town paper "Dill Pickle" provided all the details for the festive occasion.

My college friend Heidi mentioned that chicken corn soup was a dish often served in the Pennsylvania/Dutch region of the state. Dillsburg's fire station had prepared an awesome chicken corn soup.

There were several contests awarding ribbons for foods and crafts. I had to take a picture of the Whoopie Pies!

With a town with a name called "Dillsburg", the Farmers Fair actually had pickles for sale. Monty and Wayne at Peter Pipers had a variety of pickles for purchase.

What's a fair without funnel cake? I had a chance to try pumpkin funnel cake. The food stand attendant recommended I should covered the fried dough with icing and cinnamon sugar. The portion was so large that it was enough to share with four people. Delicious!

Since it was a Farmers Fair, there were quite a slew of tractors of all shapes and sizes that participated in the event's parade through the main street of the town.
