Maryland Agricultural Fair Board
The Charles County Fair Board wishes to thank the Maryland Agricultural Fair Board for their grant of funds, which are used for the payment of expenditures for approved agricultural-related premiums, ribbons and trophies. We are most appreciative of this generous support. Without this support, we would not be able to reward our exhibitors at the level proposed in our catalog. Exhibitor “thank you’s” should be directed to:
