WELCOME TO THE MARYLAND STATE FAIR

 

I want to extend a warm welcome to you and invite you to take part in the 127th Maryland State Fair.  We have something for everyone this year in the Home Arts Department, from special contests to great demonstrations.

 

Come enjoy the friendly competition and see what your talented neighbors have exhibited.  For your convenience you should pre-enter by mail or on the internet at www.marylandstatefair.com, although we will be more than happy to accept walk-ins.  There are many changes this year, so please read everything carefully.

 

Remember, Section J, Flowers has been moved to the Farm & Garden building.  So to enter your flowers you will have to go the Farm & Garden Department of the Premium Catalog or the Farm & Garden internet entry system.

 

Come and be a part of the Maryland State Fair!

 

Sincerely,

Superintendent

Janice Coroneos
