McCormick, Fetterman Revive Pa. 250th Fair Presence
The booth will be funded by private partnerships and staffed by state groups, after officials said no taxpayer money would be used.
- On Saturday, Pennsylvania Senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman announced they secured private partnerships to represent the Commonwealth at the Great American State Fair on the National Mall.
- Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro had previously declined to participate, characterizing the fair as "politicized and Trump-centric," which left the state's booth empty during opening days displaying only a flag reading "250."
- Multiple organizations committed support, with the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, and Crayola providing products and materials for the booth at no taxpayer cost.
- Freedom250, organizing the event, is coordinating with the senators to staff the booth, and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture sent state literature beginning Saturday after Shapiro offered additional materials.
- Fetterman said celebrating Pennsylvania's role in the nation's 250th birthday is "important and bipartisan," as the booth will highlight the state's agriculture dominance and businesses through July 10.
