With the Pennsylvania Farm Show underway through Jan. 11, Penn College is again connecting with the thousands who flock to the nation’s largest indoor agricultural event.

Faculty, staff and students began showcasing Penn College’s empowering opportunities on Saturday, with the baking and culinary program taking the Culinary Connection stage and additional academic programs providing activities in the Penn College booth: laser engraving with the automated machining and manufacturing department on Saturday; physics demonstrations on Sunday; a horticultural Q&A and plant giveaway on Monday; and a laparoscopic surgery simulator on Tuesday.

Watch Penn College News for more photos as the fun continues with activities provided by diesel technology/heavy construction equipment (Wednesday) the Veterans & Military Resource Center (Thursday), collision repair & restoration (Friday) and the Clean Energy Center (Saturday).
