Summary
Pennsylvania will now appear at the Great American State Fair after Senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman said Saturday they had organized the state's participation in Washington.
Several business and agriculture groups are joining the effort, including the PA Chamber, PennAg, the PA Farm Bureau, NFIB and manufacturers' associations, to staff a booth highlighting the state's history, farms and businesses.
The move fills a gap after Pennsylvania had been absent from the event, which began Thursday on the National Mall and runs through July 10 as part of the nation's 250th-birthday celebration.
About 10 Democratic-led states have declined official participation, and Governor Josh Shapiro has criticized the fair as politicized and Trump-centric, while Freedom 250 says the event is nonpolitical.
