The 82nd Pennsylvania Association of Meat Processors is now in the books — what a great convention!! Thank you to all who attended, speakers, and suppliers who helped make it great. The educational sessions were well attended and we know you learned something beneficial. The showcase is always helpful to our members and we could not do it without all the support from our suppliers and those that sponsor this event each year. The product competition was also a success with 329 entries and class 7 being the top class to have products entered (Specialty Flavored Fresh Sausage/Uncooked). Again, we could not make this all happen without the help and support of so many!! THANK YOU!!

A huge part of our annual convention are the various contests that our members look forward to every year. We’ve missed honoring the best our members have to offer, and we are proud to announce the 2023 winners.
