Farm-CityAgriculture continues to be the number one industry in Blair County. In support of this important sector of our business community, the Chamber created a committee that was charged with recognizing the efforts of Blair County farms.
The Farm-City Committee is an award winning committee that oversees all Farm-City activities that focus on educating and informing residents on the importance of agriculture in our region. Farm-City activities include the Down on the Farm event, Farm-City Dinner, Visit to Industry and Give Back Day. 2020 ACE Nomination Form
