About Tri-County Fair

The Tri-County Fair, held each summer in Petersburg, serves Pendleton County alongside Grant and Hardy counties in West Virginia's Potomac Highlands. Pendleton County is home to Spruce Knob (the highest point in West Virginia at 4,863 feet), the dramatic Seneca Rocks quartzite monolith, and the South Fork Potomac valley's cattle and trout farms.

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.
