The St. Mary’s County Fair is an annual 4-day agriculturally oriented event with the mission to improve agriculture, increase public awareness of the agricultural community in our area, and education of the general populace on agricultural and home arts skills. In a more practical view, the Fair offers the public a chance to see a cow up close, eat candy cotton, learn about 4-H livestock projects, ride a Ferris wheel, and learn the best technique for canning grape jelly.
