00:00 - We're here in the, Aggie exhibit building at the Bloomsburg Fair.

00:04 - And we're the building that has all of the fresh fruits

00:08 - and vegetables, canned goods, bakery items.

00:12 - We've got some scarecrows this year.

00:14 - And the.

00:15 - The Grangers have some set ups here.

00:18 - We're also the home of the giant pumpkin.

00:22 - For the fair.

00:23 - But we're looking here now at some of the Grangers.

00:26 - And Grangers aren't something that's, you know, they've been dwindling down.

00:30 - Typically, they were the the place to go

00:34 - if you wanted to learn how to can and and raise a garden.

00:37 - You would join the Grange and and learn how to do that.

00:40 - So I think we've got seven

00:41 - exhibits of a Grange is really appreciate them coming out.

00:44 - And you can see the theme of America 250 is what they're going to.

00:48 - For this year.

00:50 - But they really do a good job.

00:54 - Looking at some fun

00:57 - as a.

01:00 - As as we continue here, you're going to start to run into some of the vegetables.

01:04 - And we really had over 3000 exhibits this year.

01:07 - Which is on a normal year.

01:10 - That's that's what we're getting. But,

01:13 - I think we really had a good growing season,

01:15 - although some places had some flooding and some droughts.

01:17 - But, you're, you're able to see here some pretty nice vegetables.

01:21 - We're soon going to approach the herbs

01:25 - and that's, that's an area there's

01:28 - a really good local flavor of, of folks that, that love their herbs.

01:32 - And you can see how many we have here, whether some are for medicinal purposes.

01:36 - And, you know, people love their herbs.

01:39 - And you can, you can see how many are here and how many different varieties

01:42 - we have here by, by looking at the number of, blue, blue and red

01:48 - ribbons, the apple harvest, the, the freeze this year.

01:52 - So you're going to notice we don't have as many apples.

01:54 - We we've got a bushel, bushel, apple.

01:57 - Category. And nobody brought those in.

02:00 - But that freeze early on really hurt the production of of apples.

02:04 - But you can see we still we still have some here for display.

02:10 - Here.

02:12 - But, you.

02:17 - So we just walked by the hay.

02:19 - So once again, really, farming and agriculture is what this building

02:22 - is all about.

02:23 - And in addition to the the canned goods in the bakery

02:26 - which we see on our over here on the, on the side, some really talented

02:32 - cakes, we try to encourage folks to, to do some of those entries.

02:36 - And now we're looking at some canned goods.

02:39 - Still a good amount of canned goods on the lots.

02:42 - That's getting to be, you know, a, a pastime that that people aren't

02:46 - doing that.

02:47 - But, we're always happy to see all the all the canned

02:50 - goods that.

02:53 - We we still have,

02:56 - some of the more farm like with animals.

03:00 - We've got some grains, we've got hay, we've got some different varieties of corn

03:04 - that you see here.

03:07 - Once again, people love to bring that.

03:09 - Bring in a life, bring in their goods.

03:11 - And, and then they, they love to come back and see how today,

03:14 - how did they, fare up against other competitors?

03:19 - Here's some some eggs.

03:21 - We've got some celery, which is, I would say it's not unusual,

03:24 - but folks do crazy celery, which is somewhat unusual

03:29 - for this area, but there's some varieties that that you can raise.

03:32 - And then we look in the back, we we kind of created a farmhouse,

03:36 - to show off some of the, the outstanding exhibits in here.

03:40 - So we've got different gift baskets, assortments of honey

03:46 - and some of the best of the shows here, which you can see some pretty,

03:50 - pretty neat stuff here.

03:53 - And, So

03:57 - we, we had a short walk all the way through everything here, and,

04:02 - really appreciate you sharing a little bit of what

04:05 - the agricultural building and, as is, like here in the Bloomsburg Fair.
