(6/12) It is with much regret that we must announce the cancellation of the
2020 Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show. Our concern is for the health and
safety of our community, volunteers, attendees, exhibitors, and vendors, and
all involved with our Community Show during the current pandemic situation.
All events related to the fair will be cancelled except for, as
of this writing, the Catoctin FFA Alumni Livestock Show & Sale for market goat,
beef, sheep and swine. The animal show will be held on Saturday, September 12
at 9 a.m. and the livestock sale will begin at 7 p.m. with the location to be
finalized. For an application to exhibit animals, which is due by July 3,
please email catoctinffaalumni@gmail.com, and the application includes
information about a Saturday, July 18 mandatory exhibitor & parent meeting.
We look forward to seeing everyone at next year's Thurmont &
Emmitsburg Community Show in 2021. Exhibits can include anything that has been
made since the 2019 Community Show, except for baked products and any
perishable items.
The Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show has been bringing our
Thurmont & Emmitsburg communities together since 1957. We thank these
organizations who sponsor our annual Community Show: Thurmont Grange, Catoctin
FFA Chapter, Catoctin FFA Alumni, Maryland State Grange, and the Maryland
Agricultural Fair Board.
Next year, we look forward to bringing back the largest
Community Show in the State of Maryland, and, until then, everyone, please stay
safe and be well.
