What makes Keystone Farm Show different, and how we build for it

The Keystone Farm Show is produced by the trade show division of Lee Newspapers, publisher of Country Folks, and spreads across eight buildings of the York Fairgrounds, from the Expo Arena and the John Smith Building to Memorial Hall and Horticulture Hall. Penn State runs pesticide certification courses during the show, and outdoor lots host live demonstrations of portable sawmills and firewood processors. Lee gives better locations to customers who advertise in its papers, sells building-entrance sign spots to exhibitors only, and hosts an exhibitor banquet.

Dairy farmers

Milking, feeding and barn equipment from suppliers who know Pennsylvania freestall and tie-stall barns, plus herd health and milk marketing answers.

Livestock, poultry and crop producers

Seed, buildings, ventilation, handling and machinery for mixed family farms, compared building by building in one day.

Woodlot owners and contractors

Portable sawmills, firewood processors and forestry tools they can watch run outside.

Your team in York

How Purple runs the Keystone Farm Show 2027 in York

York is a short drive from our Fishkill, New York shop, which builds and prints the booth and flooring. Crates travel through Great Lakes Events, the show's decorator, to the assigned building. Your Purple project manager directs setup on Lee's move-in schedule with the labor the show and the York Fairgrounds require.

Inside Keystone Farm Show 2027

400+ agri-businesses exhibiting, per Lee source8 buildings plus outside displays source$915 per 10×10 wall booth, 2027 rate source7,000 show bags handed out at the entrances source

Rules that shape your Keystone Farm Show booth

8 feet, 12 on the perimeter

No built-up exhibit may exceed 8 feet without the Exhibit Manager's written permission; perimeter booths may extend backdrops to 12 feet with permission, and equipment height can be waived within the building's limits.

Organizer rule

Keys out, tanks taped

Equipment on display must have battery leads disconnected, gas tanks emptied and locked or taped shut and ignition keys removed, and only flame-proofed materials may be used in any exhibit.

Organizer rule

Use the appointed decorator

Lee retains one decorating firm, Great Lakes Events, and asks every exhibitor to use it; all shipments go through the decorator. We order through it and route our freight the same way.

Organizer rule

Raffles need approval

Contests, raffles and drawings, where state and local law allows them, need the Exhibit Manager's approval, and exhibitors may not hold off-site activities during show hours.

Organizer rule

Paid in full to set up

No exhibit may be set up unless paid in full, and an exhibitor must be a customer in good standing of Lee Newspapers; advertisers get preferential booth locations.

Organizer rule

Programs worth planning for

Penn State pesticide certification courses

Penn State runs pesticide certification courses during the show, which brings applicators onto the grounds for credits.

Official details

Exhibitor banquet

Lee hosts an exhibitor banquet with up to four co-sponsors at $750, who display a banner and are recognized from the podium.

Official details

Live demonstrations

Portable sawmills and firewood processing equipment run live on the outside lots.

The Keystone Farm Show is the Mid-Atlantic's January indoor farm show; choose it over Ag Progress Days when you sell dairy, livestock and woodlot equipment to Pennsylvania dealers' customers for the coming season rather than show crops in the field. Compare all the agriculture shows we build for →

The booth we would build for Keystone Farm Show 2027

The warm floor in a cold fair building

The Keystone Farm Show runs in January in fair buildings with bare concrete floors, and farmers walk eight of them in a day. A booth with a padded floor, warm light and a counter at the right height becomes the place a dairy farmer stops, takes off his gloves and talks about next season.

Concept plan for Keystone Farm Show, not to scale: zones follow the show rules on this page; your final plan is drawn to your space and the organizer's rules.
01

Padded floor

Interlocking padded tiles over the concrete, edged so a pallet jack can roll across, and a warm-white light over the whole space.

02

Product table

The working part of the product on a sturdy table: a milking unit, ventilation fan, seed sample bags without brand clutter, a chain or bar.

03

Order counter

A counter replacing Lee's draped table, with the dealer locator and a season price sheet for Pennsylvania farms.

04

Back wall

One printed wall to the 8-foot limit, or 12 feet on a perimeter booth with the Exhibit Manager's permission, carrying a single clear claim.

The demo

Let farmers handle the product: take a milking claw apart, run a fan, open a feed bag and show the ration. Woodlot brands send buyers to the outside lot to watch the sawmill cut.

The meetings

There is no meeting system. Dealers and their customers drop in by building, so plan two stools at the counter, book dealer visits for Tuesday morning before the busiest hours, and use Lee's exhibitor banquet for evening contact.

Ready for the next milking, the next planting, the next season.

KLEEMANN paired real machines with plain explanations and a clear path through the booth; a Keystone floor display needs the same when a dairy farmer walks around a mixer or sawmill and wants the working parts explained.

Bring flooring for a fair hall

Lee's kit says the exhibit halls are not carpeted except Buildings 6 and 7. In January on concrete, a padded floor and a warm-toned light make a booth where farmers stop and stand longer.

Stay under 8 feet, or ask

No built-up exhibit may top 8 feet without the Exhibit Manager's written permission; perimeter booths may, with permission, raise the backdrop to 12 feet. We ask for the perimeter height early when a back wall needs it.

Use Lee's furniture or replace it

Each 10×10 comes with an 8-foot backdrop, 30-inch side curtains, a 6-foot draped table, two chairs and a sign. We decide early whether to keep those pieces or replace them with a counter and stools.

Keystone Farm Show 2027 decorator, power and York Fairgrounds rules

Every shipment for the Keystone Farm Show goes through the decorator, Great Lakes Events of Rochester, NY; freight sent direct to the fairgrounds is not its responsibility. Fork truck service and power washing are free for unloading, with a charge if the fork truck is used to assemble equipment. The York Fairgrounds buildings have overhead doors of about 14 to 16 feet, so we measure machines and crates against the building you are assigned. Lee requires general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers compensation and auto cover before setup, and no exhibit is set up unless paid in full. A Purple project manager leads setup in York, staffed to Lee's and the fairgrounds' labor rules.

What Purple handles

  • Wall booths and floor displays for uncarpeted fair buildings
  • Flooring and lighting for a January show
  • Height permission requests for perimeter backdrops
  • Great Lakes Events freight and decorator orders
  • Outdoor demo frames and counters for the lots
  • Storage and reuse for Ag Progress Days or the National Farm Machinery Show

Keystone Farm Show 2027 tips from Lee's kit

  3. Power washing and fork truck service are free for unloading, but using the fork truck to assemble equipment is charged. source

  4. Customers who advertise in Lee's Country Folks papers get preferential booth locations, so an ad buy can improve a spot. source

Keystone Farm Show exhibitor questions

Keystone Farm Show 2027 exhibitor questions answered

When is the Keystone Farm Show 2027?

January 5–7, 2027, Tuesday to Thursday, per Lee Newspapers, with doors at 9 a.m. daily, a 4 p.m. close on the first two days and a 3 p.m. close on the last. Future dates are January 4–6, 2028, January 9–11, 2029 and January 8–10, 2030.

Where is the Keystone Farm Show held?

At the York Fairgrounds, 334 Carlisle Avenue, York, Pennsylvania, across eight buildings plus outside display space.

How much is a booth at the Keystone Farm Show 2027?

$915 for one 10×10 wall booth and $885 each for two or more, at the 2027 rates in force from September 2, 2026. Floor displays cost $6.70 a sq. ft. for 400 to 899, $6.35 for 900 to 1,999 and $6.00 above 2,000; outside space is $2.25 from a 20×40 minimum.

What comes with a Keystone Farm Show booth?

Each 10×10 gets an 8-foot backdrop, 30-inch side curtains, a 7-by-44-inch sign, two chairs, a 6-foot draped table and a wastebasket. Floor spaces get the sign, table and chairs but no curtains, and outside spaces get none of these.

How much does electricity cost at the Keystone Farm Show?

$100 per 110-volt outlet, $250 for 220-volt single phase and $150 for an outside 110-volt outlet, per the 2027 contract. Lee charges any booth found plugged in.

How many exhibitors are at the Keystone Farm Show?

Over 400 agri-businesses, per Lee Newspapers, showing equipment, services and products for dairy, livestock, poultry, forestry, woodlot and crop farms.

Who is the decorator for the Keystone Farm Show?

Great Lakes Events of Rochester, NY. Lee asks that every shipment go through the decorator, and shipments sent straight to the fairgrounds are not the decorator's responsibility.

What are the equipment display rules at the Keystone Farm Show?

Battery leads disconnected, gas tanks emptied and locked or taped shut, and ignition keys removed, with only flame-proofed materials in any exhibit, per the 2027 rules.

Is there a deadline for the Keystone Farm Show 2027?

December 1, 2026: the balance is due, and Lee notes that sign-ups after that date may miss the printed booth sign. Cancellations within 90 days of the show get no refund.

Can we sponsor at the Keystone Farm Show?

Only exhibitors can: a spot on the 4-by-4-foot sign at a building entrance costs $500, an exhibitor banquet co-sponsorship $750 (limit four), and men's room screens $800, per Lee's 2027 kit.

How is the Keystone Farm Show different from Ag Progress Days?

Keystone is Lee Newspapers' indoor January trade show in York's fair buildings; Ag Progress Days is Penn State's August field show at Rock Springs with crop plots and field demos. Keystone suits dealers selling for the coming season.

Is the Keystone Farm Show worth it for a dairy supplier?

It is a strong fit: dairy is one of the farm types Lee names first, and a booth at $915 puts you in front of Pennsylvania's dairy country for three winter days.

Can Purple build our Keystone Farm Show booth?

We can. York is a short haul from our Fishkill, NY shop; we ship through Great Lakes Events, bring flooring for the bare halls, and a Purple project manager sees the booth through setup and teardown.

Before you sign for Keystone Farm Show

Five things to ask every builder quoting Keystone Farm Show:

  1. Which York Fairgrounds building is our booth in, and does our equipment fit its overhead door?
  2. What flooring will you bring for an uncarpeted fair building in January?
  3. Will you request perimeter backdrop height above 8 feet from the Exhibit Manager if our wall needs it?
  4. Will freight go through Great Lakes Events, the show's decorator?
  5. How many outlets will our lights and screens need, given Lee charges every booth that plugs in?

What Keystone Farm Show exhibitors ask us

It is a fairground in January. Will anyone come? The show has kept its January slot with more than 400 exhibitors because farmers have time in winter. Heated buildings, a padded floor and warm light do the rest.

Our rate went up after September. Is a floor display still worth it? At $6.00 to $6.70 a sq. ft., a 20×20 floor display costs about $2,680, often less than shipping a machine to a bigger show, and it puts the product in front of Pennsylvania buyers.

Can we skip the decorator and ship straight to York? Lee asks all exhibitors to use Great Lakes Events, and freight sent straight to the fairgrounds is not the decorator's responsibility. We ship through the decorator to keep it tracked.
