With much of the Lehigh Valley's farmland disappearing to development, sometimes it's hard to believe the region was once covered with back-to-back farms.

The Allentown Fair livestock barns provide a yearly reminder to city slickers and suburbanites of where food actually comes from. The sewing, knitting, quilting and other crafts exhibits in Ag Hall at the fair are a testament to the fine craftsmanship that still exists in the community. 

This photo gallery includes pictures of exhibits from Breinigsville, North Whitehall, Lower Saucon, Emmaus, Alburtis, Coopersburg, Easton and Bethlehem.
