 Come to the 64th Annual ST MARY'S COUNTY FAIR SEPTEMBER 23-26, 2010 MARYLAND at the fairgrounds located on Route 5, two miles south of Leonardtown, you will be glad you did.

If you have exhibits take them on Wednesday, September 22.  Last year I had the fun of watching five grandchildren prepare and enter:  woodwork, knitting, cupcake decorating, painting and Lego building, to name a few.And 'YES' we had some winners!  This year Exhibits will be judged from 10AM to 3PM on Thursday, September 23.  Exhibit buildings open at 4PM.

Thursday is also "Queen of Tolerance Day" - Gates open at 3PM starting with the Queen of Tolerance Pageant.  One young lady from each of the County High Schools competes for the title of Queen of Tolerance.  I remember an exciting time several years ago when my daughter represented Chopticon HS.

School and 4-H Activities Day is on Friday, September 24.  All elementary, middle and high school students are admitted FREE until 5PM.  The Fair is open from 9AM to 9PM.

There are many shows and events including:  magic, chain saw sculptures, pig races and St Mary's County Sheriff Department K-9 demonstration. 

4-H Activities include:  horse an livestock shows and judging contests.  Come and see the results of the hard work these young people have done over the last year. 

In the Education building you will see a unique display of the talent of St Mary's County school children. 

Other events on Friday include:  The Speech Contest, a concert by the Middle School Band, and the light weight horse pull.

PARADE DAY is Saturday, September 25.  On Saturday there is the 4-H Livestock auction, a jousting tournament and line dancing, some of the previous days events are repeated,  live entertainment and the heavyweight horse pull.

Finally Sunday, September 26 is known as Family Day 9AM to 6PM.  There's the baby contest and the Gospel music concert, the horse show and other repeated events, along with the antique tractor pull and sheep show, with shearing and weaving.  The Carnival offers the "ride all day" for one price ticket. 

 While you are at the Fair there are many opportunities to broaden your knowledge of St Mary's Agricultural heritage and it's relevance in our lives today.

To make parking easier there is a free STS shuttle bus Fri, Sat, and Sun. from the Government Center in Leonardtown.
