The Cumberland Perry CTC students won 1st place “Best of Show”, at the 2026 PA Farm Show which qualified them to enter the landscape exhibit America’s 250th at the Big E (Eastern States Exposition). This is a huge accomplishment given there is only one entry allowed at the Big E per state. Cumberland Perry CTC sent four students and two advisors to make the trek to Massachusetts in mid-September. The group of students had to design a layout, complete a supply list, pack all supplies for the trip, and then set up the display. After all the hours incorporated into the landscape display, the students were ecstatic with a 1st place win while bringing home the blue ribbon to PA. They are already looking forward to this year’s entry in the 2027 PA Farm Show!
