Welcometo the

122 nd McClure Bean Soup Festival and Fair!

In September our little town of McClure comes alive with the sights, sounds, lights and laughter to celebrate the 122 years of “The McClure Bean Soup Festival and Fair.” The theme for all Pennsylvania Fairs for 2013 is “Harvest Your Dreams”. We invite you to “Harvest Your Dream” by showcasing your prize-winning vegetables, fruits, canned goods, wines, flowers, and so much more. Show off your prize winning rabbit or show off your blue ribbon horse at the Horse Show. Your dream of “Harvesting” that winning ribbon will come true! Any day spent at a fair is a good day. Each fair is different, yet for everything that is unique with each fair, they all operate with the same purpose – to showcase the best that is made and grown in PA and educating their visitors about agriculture. Stop by our fair and see Pennsylvania’s agriculture at its best. Whatever you want to see or favorite fair food you desire, you can find it in 109 flavors across PA. Support your fairs. Pennsylvania’s #1 industry is agriculture. We would like to take this opportunity to express how proud we are that our 2010 Fair Queen, Casey Shawver, represented the agricultural industry as the 2012-13 Pennsylvania State FFA President. Congratulations on a job well done! As always, our fair would not continue to grow without the many hours that our “Valuable Volunteers” give to us every year! Our fair officers and committee members contribute many volunteer hours and many fundraiser events to continue the progress of our fair. You will find our volunteers in the exhibit hall, soda stand, souvenir stand, cake wheel and many other areas of our fair! Another important part of our fair is our many sponsors. Year after year, we have individuals and businesses sponsor our many contests that we have during fair week. We, the Fair Officers and Committee Members extend a warm THANK YOU for your continued support and would like to welcome you to attend our fair. Mark your calendars and join us for a week of “Harvesting” Agriculture at its finest! Join us for a week of fun, food, and fellowship with your friends and family at Cold Springs Grove!

I’ve been coming to the Bean Soup since I was a small child and I can remember my grandparents pushing me around in a stroller. Throughout my rein of being the McClure Bean Soup Queen, I had the opportunity to meet many new friends and participate in different events and activities. Some of the events included the Bean Soup parade where you could just see all the little girls faces light up when they see you in that big crown, helping at the food auction during the fair, helping with the Vera Bradley Bingo fundraiser,working thecakewheelat theStrawberryFestival andvisiting theelementaryschooland readingabook to thechildrenaboutwhere their foodcomesfrom.WhenIwasvisitingtheelementaryschooloneofthechildrenaskedme if IwasonAmerican Idol.
