The World Trade Center Harrisburg partnered once again with Pennsylvania's Center for Trade Development in organizing a "Pennsylvania Pavilion" at the Summer Fancy Food Show, North America's largest show for the specialty food and beverage industry. The show was held at the Javits Convention Center in New York City and featured over 180,000 products including confections, cheese, snacks, spices, ethnic, natural and organic products.
The "Pennsylvania Pavilion" was one of ten State Pavilions, and included 12 different companies - four of them from the southcentral region.
