St. Mary's County Fair

This year’s dates are September 20 - 23, 2012
The St. Mary’s County Fair is produced by the St. Mary’s County Fair Association each September during the third weekend after Labor Day. Typically over 1000 people will enter their handiwork in the competitions which include livestock, home arts, farm and garden, arts and crafts, and 4-H departments. Most exhibits are judged on Thursday morning and the Fair is open for general viewing on Thursday afternoon. Some contests, such as the speech contest and judging of livestock, occur during the Fair. Premium moneys, ribbons, and trophies are awarded to the winning exhibits.

Elizabeth Fazio is the 2011 Queen of Tolerance. She is the daughter of Richard and Teresa Fazio. Elizabeth attended St. Mary’s Ryken High School, where she had a GPA of 4.3 and was the Vice President of the National Honor Society. Elizabeth was awarded a $1000 scholarship by Metrocast Communications.

The 2011 St. Mary’s County Fair will feature both popular old and new events and exhibits, like Donald Burroughs with his miniature mules (pictured to the left).

Fairgoers are encouraged to ride the St. Mary’s Transit System (STS) shuttle bus to the fair (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Park at the Governmental Center, ride the free shuttle bus, and arrive at the back gate of the Fairground.
