                                                                            Building 18 Livestock Sale Barn

                                                                                  Hosting livestock sales at the Frederick Fairgrounds is nothing new.
                                                                                It’s no wonder countless associations and producers have chosen our
                                                                site to hold their auction. When the gavel falls be sure your sale is
                                                                                being held in the newly renovated Spotlight on Champions Sale Barn. 
                                                                                            The sale barn has been renovated to provide better lighting,
                                                                                 and painted for a cleaner and brighter appearance. The barn is equipped
                                                                                                with holding pens for livestock as well as scales certified
                                                                                                            by the Maryland Department of Agriculture.

 

 

                                                    Grandstand and Stage

                                                                                        When the spotlights shine, make sure they are shining on
                                                                                        your event being held center stage at the fairgrounds. What a wonderful
                                                                                            place to have an outdoor concert in the early spring or summer or late fall.
                                                                                            The grandstand/track seats between 2,976 to 4,365 people. The fairgrounds also
                                                                                                has a box office with three ticket windows. If concerts are not what
                                                                                                you are looking to feature, the 1/2 mile dirt track is excellent for
                                                                                                        tractor pulls, motorcycle races, or even rodeos.
