HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHP) \u2014 One lawmaker hopes to take the “state” out of the names of some of Pennsylvania’s state fairs.<\/p>\n
Rep. Catherine Wallen (R-Adams\/Cumberland) said Tuesday that only the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg has a claim to the title of Pennsylvania’s official state fair. <\/p>\n
Wallen said she plans to introduce legislation that would prohibit other fairs from using the title “state fair” in their names and advertising. <\/p>\n
“Currently, there is no statute that allows for the use of the title \u201cstate fair\u201d in Pennsylvania,” Wallen wrote in a memo<\/a>. “This legislation would change that to keep all fairs across the state on the same level and not allude that they are recognized as the official state fair of Pennsylvania.”<\/p>\n Comment with Bubbles<\/p>\n BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT<\/p>\n Wallen didn’t name specific events that use the term “state fair,” but the York State Fair <\/a>and the Carlisle State Fair<\/a> are two local examples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HARRISBURG, Pa.
