HARFORD COUNTY, MD — The Harford County Farm Fair reportedly drew about 40,000 people this year. Held off Tollgate Road, the annual event included everything from tractor pulls to pie eating contests. Mule jumping, barnyard bingo, a horse show and more rounded out the festival.

Each year since the Harford County Farm Fair was revitalized in 1988, there have been more kids taking part in the 4-H activities, The Aegis reported; and attendance overall was 40,000 this year, the paper reported, an increase from 2018, when weather dampened the fair festivities.
