LIVESTOCK BARN Fundraiser
Help Build a New Livestock Barn @ the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds

The Anne Arundel County Fair is raising $150,000 for the construction and improvement of a new livestock barn that will serve local youth and the community for years to come.

This facility will provide a safe, functional, educational space for members of our 4-H & FFA programs along with others to have the opportunity to exhibit their livestock projects, share their knowledge, and participate in the annual county fair. Through these programs, youth develop responsibility, animal husbandry skills, leadership, sportsmanship, and a strong appreciation for agriculture and education.

We are inviting local businesses, organizations, and community members to become part of this lasting investment. Your support will directly impact the next generation of agricultural leaders in Anne Arundel County while helping preserve and strengthen agriculture.

🐄🐖🐑 A HUGE THANK YOU to our Buyers! 🐑🐖🐄

The Anne Arundel County Livestock Auction would not be as successful without the incredible support of our buyers and community partners. ❤️

Our 4-H animal programs work so well because of YOU! Your support gives our young people opportunities to learn responsibility, build confidence, develop valuable life skills, and experience the pride that comes from raising, showing and selling an animal.

When you support the Livestock Auction, you’re not just purchasing an animal—you’re investing in our youth and their future. 🌟

From all of us at Anne Arundel County Extension and our 4-H members: THANK YOU for believing in our kids, supporting agriculture, and making these opportunities possible!

We are so grateful for each and every one of you! 💚
