2005 Pennsylvania Farm Show Pictures taken January 15, 2005 The collocated NWS offices of the Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center and WFO State College along with members from WFO Pittsburgh and WFO Mount Holly participated in the annual 2005 Pennsylvania Farm Show held in Harrisburg, PA. The event typically draws an estimated crowd of 500,000 people. This year’s show commenced on Saturday, January 8^th and continued through Saturday, January 15^th. NWS staff members manned a booth at the Farm Show where an estimated 4,000 people stopped by to pick up brochures, swap stories and chat about weather and hydrology. Brochures on Winter Weather, Tornadoes and Thunderstorms and Floods were handed out along with many Cloud Charts. Also available at the booth were the latest weather forecasts, current conditions and river forecasts via NWS internet sites. Staff members also educated the public on NWS web pages which now include newer products and services such as AHPS and NDFD.
	This poster on the NWS display was carefully constructed by Service Hydrologist Pete Jung (WFO CTP). Included on the poster are the 7 NWS offices that serve Pennsylvania (WFOs State College, Pittsburgh, Mt Holly, Binghamton, Cleveland and the Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center and Ohio River Forecast Center), the NWS Mission Statement and many weather related photos.
