Montgomery County Agricultural Fair  
 

Montgomery County Agricultural Fair
Gaithersburg, MD
August 10 - 18, 2012
"Sew It, Grow It, Show It"

The 63rd Annual Montgomery County Agricultural Fair’s theme was “It’s Udderly Terrific”.  We had a wonderful fair while creating special memories.  The new lawnmower racing brought new flair to opening night, the Monster Truck Backflip astonished the audience, StatueViva drew crowds and the animals events were remarkable.  We appreciate all the volunteers, participants and patrons that support the fair and come together to help produce a spectacular fair!
