                              ...AT THE GREAT FREDERICK FAIR
                                ARE MAKING A HUGE IMPACT.

Our sponsorships continue to evolve into partnerships, where sponsors are not only investing directly into the
support of our Agricultural Education Exhibits and Programs, but are also making improvements to the areas that
they sponsor. Buildings are being painted and sponsored areas are being renovated or rebuilt. Assets like signage
are doubling as sun shades that carry the sponsor’s brand and provide a valuable function for the kids, their animals
and fairgoers alike. Signage is also creating dramatic photo backdrops, providing information about agricultural
industries or educational facts about breeds or biproducts. These sponsorships are creating a great environment
for our guests and exhibitors. Many of these sponsored areas are a hub for fair activities and a point of interest for
events throughout the year.

        YOUR SPONSORSHIP DOLLARS ARE BEING WELL SPENT
                   AND MAKING A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE.

EQUINE DEPARTMENT
                           THE EXPO HAS FOUND A NEW HOME.
                           In 2011, an Equine Expo was established at our fair. The Expo
                           is a unique area that provides interesting facts, programming
                           and educational content about horses in a fun and interactive
                           space. The tremendous growth of the program and demand
                           for more content created the need for more space. The objective was to relocate and
                           consolidate, bringing all of the equine-related events in closer proximity to one another.

                           A low-lying area of the infield between the arena and the tunnel, which had been closed for
                           over 10 years, was the best option. A 3-phase plan was presented to the Board with the
                           expectation that it would take 3 years to complete. Due to the generosity of our incredible
                           partners, Pleasants Construction, Ruppert Landscape, S.W. Barrick & Sons,
                           Shepherd Electric Supply and Playground Specialists, Inc. we were able to
                           complete the plan in only 3 months. Together, we successfully created a new destination
                           called Pleasants Park. Fairgoers were delighted to be able to walk through the tunnel again.

                           Pleasants Park is now a destination with picnic tables, stadium seating, a Bartley trailer vendor
                           and The Moose Pit, a very popular vendor where thousands gathered to eat. Many visited the
                           Equine Expo, which showcased Payton the donkey (2019 featured animal), miniature horses,
                           draft horses and many other breeds, along with a Pin The Tail on ‘Jack’ game, English and
                           Western riding demos using horse-like barrels, wooden horse-grooming stations, articulated
                           skeletons and a horse shoe exhibit.

                           The Ryan Homes Outdoor Equine Arena, located right next to the Expo, features a week
                           long schedule packed with events like parades, horse pulls, demonstrations and shows.

                                          Many thanks to our Equine Sponsors

GRANDSTAND EVENTS

                  THE GREAT FREDERICK FAIR IS KNOWN FOR BRINGING
                NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ENTERTAINMENT TO THE FAIR.

            Attracting 30,000 guests along with costs for talent fees, stage production, sound, lighting, ticketing, ushers
            and advertising; putting on nine nights of entertainment is an extraordinary task and sponsorships are essential
            in making this happen. Overall, it cost around $700,000 to produce the 2019 entertainment line-up.

            Sponsors receive event tickets and exposure throughout the week in the Grandstand, on our Video Walls and
            our Red Barn Boards. Sponsors are included in our advertising campaign and PA announcements.
