Coca Cola has teamed up with The Great Frederick Fair to promote this year's event on an estimated 2 million Coke cans that were distributed in a multi-state region. The cans, featured the fair's 135th logo, the fair dates and special Coke carnival promotions.
"We are really fortunate to have Coke do this promotion for us," said fair board President Robert Frank. David Dailey, local manager of the Coke Division, is working closely with this project.
Reithoffer Shows will honored the special "Coke" Days at the fair Friday, Sept. 12, Tuesday, Sept. 16 and Thursday, Sept. 18. Patrons who brought a Coke can to the carnival drop-off recycling area will receive $2 off the $10.99 Pay One Price ride special.
"This is really a fabulous ride promotion, in addition to the other ride promotions Reithoffer Shows is doing for The Great Frederick Fair," said Clyde Crum, chairman of the Carnival Concessions Committee.

If you haven't seen a copy of the 1997 Great Frederick Fair catalog you may want to stop by the fair's Administrative Office or your local library to pickup a copy. Some interior cosmetic changes were made to this year's 248-page book in order to have the fair catalog match the fair's new software that will be used fair-wide to record all of the entries and placing of all the items entered at the fair.
Frederick Artist Sherry Kemp has again provided the cover design of the catalog. "The cover is again a spectacular design by Sherry Kemp," said fair board president Robert Frank. It truly encompasses all aspects of the fair! Sherry always does such a nice job with the catalog cover and we appreciate being able to feature her talents on the front of our fair catalog."
Also, the catalog contains the various entry forms for livestock classes."The fair board hasn't provided this service in quite some time," Frank said, "and now the exhibitors have the entry forms at their fingertips when they received their catalog."
