2026 Maryland State Fair

September 3rd-7th at the Maryland State Fair Grounds

To Maryland Brown Swiss Members & Supporters:

     Maryland State Fair will be here in a few short weeks. We hope many of you will be exhibiting & hope all of you will help us support our fellow Brown Swiss Exhibitors by sponsoring an award or two. Below are the links to the 2026 Maryland State Fair Brown Swiss Sponsor letter & form listing the sponsor opportunities for the Youth show, Open show & the Youth dairy judging contests. Thank you in advance for your continued support & sponsorship for the Maryland State Fair Brown Swiss shows. It really means a lot to the exhibitors! They will be competing Sept 3rd  – Sept 7th. We hope you’ll be exhibiting or are able to be there to cheer them on!

     Cowsmo will again be onsite for online coverage of all the open class breed shows Sept 3rd & 4th.

     If you missed the chance to be a sponsor at the recent summer Mid-Atlantic Brown Swiss Show – this is your chance to still support our exhibitors, especially the youth.

     For the Youth Judging Team awards, we are looking for 3 sponsors willing to give $100 to cover the winning judging team awards in the Brown Swiss Division to cover one of the age groups: Junior, Intermediate or Senior division. $100 will cover the team award & the top individual award in each division. Or you can sponsor a team or a top individual. 

     If interested, please mark your sponsor form as such.  Those youth have put in hours learning & participating in local judging clinics to get to this state competition in hopes of making the MD teams going on to compete in national judging contests. I know they will appreciate your support.

     Please mail your sponsor form & payment payable to Maryland Brown Swiss Association & mail to:  Emily Heffner, 10943 Mapleville Rd, Hagerstown, MD  21742 by August 24th. 

Thank you in advance for your support. Contact any of the Show Committee with questions.
