All-American Dairy Show exhibitors can now enter online for the 2019 show, set for Sept. 14-18 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg.

All entries must be submitted online this year at allamerican.pa.gov; no hardcopy entries will be accepted.

Early entry is from July 1 to Aug. 16. Late entries will be accepted until showtime at an additional cost.

The show schedule has changed from past years. Most notably, the show is shortened by one day and the Pennsylvania Holstein Fall Championship Show will run simultaneously with the Eastern National Holstein Show. 

Supreme Champion Pageant
CHAMPIONS ROW: The Supreme Champion Pageant is the culmination of the show. This year’s pageant is Sept. 18 at 2 p.m.

The All-American Dairy Show features 22 shows in six days in addition to the nation's only all­-dairy antiques show. Last year's show featured nearly 3,000 animals and 1,500 exhibitors from around the country.
