Pennsylvania’s Largest Bi-County Fair Let the 2014 Shippensburg Community Fair be your local travel destination this July. Experience the music, food, agriculture, exhibits and more that only come from our community! The Shippensburg Community Fair offers quite a variety of attractions for each and every age group. From excellent home-cooked food to all forms of stage entertainment, there is surely something to please just about anyone! Experience what the Fair is all about – the hard-working dedicated members of the community! Hundreds of people from Shippensburg and surrounding towns, counties and neighborhoods come together during the Shippensburg Community Fair to display their exhibits and compete with others for the first place ribbon! The Fair offers many opportunities for exhibitors, including shows and contests in Dairy, Livestock, Horses, and many varieties of Home Products. We place special emphasis on youth exhibits to help teach the importance of dedication, responsibility and showmanship required to be successful leaders in the community! What’s a fair without food? The Shippensburg Community Fair is proud to feature an incredibly diverse menu of homemade foods from more than 20 local non-profit organizations. These organizations utilize volunteer service to raise funds for their groups every year. You won’t find commercial food vendors here, folks! Details at www.shippensburgfair.com.

There will be ongoing demos during the day from several merchants. A list of merchants can be seen on the website, www.quiltodyssey.com. Hugs & Kisses Quilts for Kids returns for its 9th year. This was a non-profit venture started by Quilt Odyssey in 2006 as a way of giving back to the community. Everything is donated for making quilts for children who are facing more than usual medical problems at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Fabrics have been donated by quilt shops and companies such as Quiltmakers Cottage, Prints Charming and Red Rooster Fabrics. Since 2006, more than 1,500 quilts have been lovingly made by quilters attending the show. The bindings are attached by ladies from the Chambersburg Quilt Guild after the show. Sue Frederick of Greencastle, Pa., is in charge of the project. For more information, go to Quilt Odyssey’s website, www.quiltodyssey.com, call 717-423-5148 or email quiltodyssey@embarqmail.com.

They are freely available for the taking from a public tap or for wading in the largest open display of spring waters in the Blue Ridge. A thriving spa community has grown up around the springs.
