Allentown and Schnecksville Fairs to Receive State Grants

Senator Pat Browne (R-16th District) has recently been notified by the State Department of Agriculture that two fairs held in the 16th Senatorial District were awarded Capitol Improvement Grants.

The Great Allentown Fair will receive $8,775, while the Schnecksville Community Fair will receive $3,820.

"These grants will help to make two very popular fairs in the Lehigh Valley even better," Senator Browne said. "The Allentown and Schnecksville fairs provide a great opportunity for people from all parts of our region – both in the city and the country – and all walks of life to get together and have a good time while spotlighting our agricultural heritage."
