C. Rodman Myers
Community Show President

(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.
