(Harrisburg) -- The annual Farm Show is running through Saturday, and state officials estimate up to 400,000 people will visit the Harrisburg event this year.
For many, the food is the highlight.
Sue Aurand of Lewistown, Mifflin County, went with the cheese cubes, which she described as kababs of fried Mozzarella.
"We love cheese. Any kind of cheese in any kind of form. So we thought it looked good and it's a large portion!"
Baked potatoes are a Farm Show favorite.
York resident Shelly Merkle says she had been looking forward to digging into one for over a week.
"It comes with butter. A gentleman behind me asked for extra butter. I can't imagine more butter than is already on it. With a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper!"
The food court also has milk shakes, fried mushrooms, barbecue sandwiches, fried onions, ice cream and many other choices.
