Montgomery County Agricultural Fair  
 

Montgomery County Agricultural Fair
Gaithersburg, MD
August 9 - 17, 2013
"Plenty to See from A to Z"

The 64th Annual Montgomery County Agricultural Fair’s theme was “Sew It, Grow It, Show It”.  We had a wonderful Fair while creating special memories.  The 'Fair Idol' competition blew audiences away on the Pepco Community Stage with amazing displays of talent.  Get ready now for the 2013 competition which will be 'So You Think You Can Dance'.  Other fun entertainment that drew audiences around the Fairgrounds consisted of Agricadabra's fantastic magic show, Puddle Jumpers' dressed up geese, the adorable and informative Aussie Kingdom Show, and much more!  We would like to thank everyone who helped make the Fair such a spectacular event and a great success!
