About Pendleton County Fair

The Pendleton County Fair in Franklin celebrates the highest county seat in West Virginia — Franklin sits at over 2,100 feet elevation in the Potomac Highlands, and the county's Spruce Knob (the highest point in West Virginia at 4,863 feet), the Seneca Rocks' dramatic quartzite monolith, and the South Fork Potomac valley's cattle and trout farms define a county of extraordinary mountain character.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, trout and cattle exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair celebrating the agricultural and outdoor heritage of the West Virginia Potomac Highlands.

Visitor Tips

Seneca Rocks' 900-foot quartzite fins are one of the most dramatic geological features in the eastern United States and a major rock climbing destination. Spruce Knob's subalpine meadows and Spruce Knob Lake define the county's wild high-elevation character, and the Monongahela National Forest covers much of the county.
