Now that the 53rd annual Garrett County Maryland Fair is well underway - here is a list of the top 5 things you must do at this year's fair located in McHenry on the northern end of Deep Creek Lake.
5. Ride The Casino - tunes are blaring during this rock-n-roll type ride. It's so popular long lines are common.

4. Eat a Funnel Cake - just hit the food row to buy one and you'll soon be understanding why they are so popular.
3. Watch the Livestock Auction - held on Saturday night. Many prize winning cattle and pigs are auctioned off raising money for many local youths and charities.
2. Get some Rotary French Fries - freshly cut french fries prepared on site by the Oakland Rotary Club - best served with ketchup or vinegar.
1. The Demolition Derby - will be held this Saturday evening. Nothing quite like watching a bunch of locals smash up cars until only 1 is left running!
Fair Week is very popular for both locals and vacationers - many second homeowners and families renting a vacation home plan their summer vacation around this week. You can certainly tell that more people are in the Deep Creek Lake area this week than most other times - more cars are on the roads, the lake is a little busier, and the restaurants are more full.
