On the northern outskirts of Harrisburg, the capital city of what’s called the Keystone State, sits the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center, a massive exhibition venue with an 8,000-seat arena in the middle. Each year, the Farm Show hosts over 250 different types of public events: concerts, conventions, auctions, football and basketball games, and more. It also hosts the largest indoor agricultural show in the United States. For one weekend each February, the venue transforms its one million square feet into what many would call the well-organized chaos of MotoRama, a crazy collection of dirt bike and ATV races, go-karts and midgets, custom trucks and RC cars, and Battle ‘Bots—pretty much anything with a motor!
