Schuylkill County's Carly Green Named Finalist in Pennsylvania Farm Show National Anthem Contest

Carly Green of Tamaqua has been selected as a finalist in the Pennsylvania Farm Show’s annual O’ Say Can You Sing National Anthem contest, earning a chance to perform at one of the state’s largest and most celebrated events.
Green, a freshman at Marian Catholic High School and the daughter of Jason and Amy Green, is the only finalist representing Schuylkill County. She was chosen by a panel of judges and now stands among 20 finalists from across Pennsylvania vying for a Top 12 spot. Those top performers will sing the National Anthem during the 2025 Pennsylvania Farm Show, held January 10–15 in Harrisburg.

While the first round was judged, the next phase depends entirely on public voting.
