The first agricultural fair was held in Frederick County in 1822. The Great Frederick Fair dates to 1853, with fairs held yearly except for during and shortly after the US Civil War. The fair has been in its current location since the early 1900's. The fair provides an means for local farmers to exhibit their livestock and crops; homemade jams, jellies and cakes; and other hand made goods. There is also a large photography exhibit, with images that compete with any we see on My World Tuesday. The fair also provides encouragement to youngsters who are interested in agriculture with ribbons and prizes for various age groups. The fair also provides major entertainment; rides and games; and competitions with both animals and machines. And lots and lots of food! (I will be posting more fair images this week, both here and on Lew's Pics.)
Lots of new machinery on display
This one has been converted to a kids slide - note the blue mat at the rear
That looks like a great fair for Jack and I to visit next year. John Deere machine----I like that it has become a slide. Cool. Are your leaves starting to turn?
good evening bros. I'm actually into shoes and I was digging for the sake of that particular brand. The prices due to the fact that the shoes are about 220 pounds on every site. But finally I base this site selling them for half price. I really love these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will absolutely buy those. what can you tell me about these?
good afternoon ppl. I'm honestly into shoes and I have been looking for that singular brand. The prices due to the fact that the shoes were all over 320 pounds on every site. But finally I found this site selling them for the benefit of half price. I exceptionally want those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy these. what can you say about it?
