Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding announced the singers who will perform the “Star-Spangled Banner” daily and at special events during the 2023 Farm Show. Six-year-old Mia Bixler, of Schuylkill Haven in Schuylkill County, received the most social media votes in the 2023 PA Farm Show national anthem contest, ‘Oh, Say Can You Sing?’. She will kick off opening day, Saturday, singing live from the GIANT Expo Hall in the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex.

A panel of judges selected 20 finalists from among 39 entries. Finalists’ videos were posted on Facebook for fan voting to determine the winners, who will sing each morning and at special events during the week.

Contest winners will sing in the GIANT Expo Hall at 8 a.m. each day of the 2023 Pennsylvania Farm Show. Performances can be heard throughout the complex and will be featured live on PA Farm Show’s Facebook page.
