Three Central Pennsylvania singers are among the winners of the Pennsylvania Farm Show’s 2021 national anthem singing contest

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Three Central Pennsylvania singers are among the eight winners of the fifth annual Oh Say, Can You Sing? contest, the Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture announced Wednesday.

The eight winners will make their video debuts at the 2021 Pennsylvania Farm Show — a virtual event this year, due to COVID-19 — beginning Jan. 9 on the Pennsylvania Farm Show Facebook page and the Pennsylvania Cable Network, the department said.

“In past years, early in the morning at the Farm Show Complex, before large crowds arrive, the national anthem was broadcast throughout the building by talented Pennsylvania singers,” Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding said in a press release. “Exhibitors and vendors preparing for the day would pause in unity to listen.

“Although, because of the global pandemic, we cannot be together in person this year, I’m glad we are able to share this tradition. Thank you to all who entered this contest and to the winners, for providing a little slice of normalcy in this most unusual year.”
