Jrblanke 857 #1 Posted June 27, 2019 I had a great show this past weekend! I didn't bring any parts to sell, or any tractors to ride, but I enjoyed the food and fellowship with my friends that I haven't seen since last year! It was a much needed release from the "real world". Can't wait to do it again next year! I love coming to PA for the show because of the beautiful scenery, mild weather, and amazing food! The pies were on point again this year! I also learned my lesson and brought some home in the cooler for the wife! OK, without further ado, here are my pics. As you can see, i tend to gravitate towards the tractors from the 1960s. This show didn't disappoint! 5 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll find it on rt 234 a few miles East of Arendtsville. Very interesting dairy barn with a central silo for easy feeding and milking in it's day. It is now a fruit and craft shop. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love old barns, and I wondered how I've missed it on my way home from the big show so many times. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have to turn south off of 234 east of the show to get there. Sounds like a great place for a little side trip after next year's show, or earlier. Thanks guys! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, there is a nice winery just across the road from the barn. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HaHaHa...I heard the same story when I was a kid, plus the one where the farmer's wife sees the daughter being chased by a farmhand. She yells "run to the barn, he can't corner you there". Great pictures. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
