One of the new features, at the Carroll County Fair


One of the new features, at the Carroll County Fair that we really like, are the American flags that line the pedestrian walkway from the parking. And every time we walk up the walkway, Caroline stops to stand and straighten each flag. She's a keeper. 4Aug2017

The 1993 annual Carroll County Maryland 4-H FFA Fair program.


The 1993 annual Carroll County Maryland 4-H FFA Fair program.

Of all the fair programs in my library, this must be the most extensive and comprehensive. It is approximately 380 pages.

I explained much of the history and traditions of the fair in an August 2, 2015 piece I wrote for the Baltimore Sun: “Annual Carroll County Fair set for this week,” Eagle Archives, By Kevin E. Dayhoff, http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-archives-county-fair-0802-20150731-story.html

The “annual Carroll County 4-H and FFA Fair at the Agriculture Center just south of Westminster” Maryland.

[…]

The first mention of a Carroll County ‘fair’ seems to have occurred in the days immediately following the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-4, 1863. In “Recollections,” Dr. Joshua Hering describes, “A temporary camp was made in a field on the “Fairground Hill,” immediately to the left of the turnpike.”

Stan Dabkowski’s food booth in the Shipley Arena at the Carroll County Md Fair.

Stan Dabkowski’s “Farmer Stan’s Plants and Produce” food booth in the Shipley Arena is always a favorite destination at the Carroll County Md Fair.

Stan is awesome. For years I always requested marinated asparagus spears - and one year he made them for me. Too funny.

Stop by and ask for marinated asparagus spears. Tell Stan, Kevin sent you.

For more information on Farmer Stan’s Plants and Produce, go to his website here: http://www.farmerstansplantsproduce.com/about-us.html

The food review at the fair is always important information for Jake Holmes. Just saying. This year I enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich and french fries. Wow, I will have to run extra this week.
