The Contests
Another aspect of the Wayne County PA Fair to enjoy are the contests. Locals from all around the Pocono Mountains area come to show off their best and enter into one of the many contests that are available. Some of them include baking contests, apple pie contests, as well as many livestock competitions. Some of the types of animals that you could see at the Wayne County PA Fair are cows, goats, sheep, pigs, and more. This is always an interesting thing to see as farmers are very competitive and enjoy showing off their cattle.
