The Ag committee hopes that this will be one of many contests at the Fair to come that promote Schuylkill County Grown products.
The Schuylkill County Grown program is designed to promote locally grown produce and other farm market products, such as milk, eggs, and even Christmas trees.

This program offers a way for producers and businesses to mark those products that are grown right here in Schuylkill County.

The competition is open to both youth and adult. As there are two categories open the public to participate in. The youth category is for those individuals under 18 years of age to prepare a quick bread and bring to the Fairgrounds to be judged ready to serve.
