Penna. Flavor Beer-and-Food Fest in Harrisburg April 28th

You might want to add this to your "to-do" list for 2012, and tickets are already on sale:

The PA Flavor: The Ultimate Beer and Food Pairing will be held Saturday, April 28, 1-5 p.m. at the State Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg, PA.  VIP Admission at 1:00 p.m, General Admission at 2:00 p.m, Event ends at 5 p.m.
PA Flavor: Beer and Food Expo, presented jointly by the Pennsylvania Brewers Guild, the American Culinary Federation and the Department of Agriculture’s PA Preferred Program, is designed to showcase the many unique beer and food offerings in Pennsylvania.
Focusing on Pennsylvania beer and food, this event brings together up to 40 Pennsylvania breweries along with 20 PA Preferred food producers and 20 PA Preferred restaurants in a sampling event for 1500+ attendees.
Attendees will be able to sample from all vendors and be able to purchase take home items from all food producers, as well as sample the numerous beer brewed from around the state and partake in restaurant samples featuring Pennsylvania beer and PA Preferred food items.

Depending on which breweries appear, this may be an excellent opportunity for "one-stop" shopping to sample the range of beers in Pennsylvania without so much driving (but a hotel or motel room afterwards, please).  This may bear watching.
