What You'll Find There
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a small Ohio River county fair in the mid-Ohio Valley.
The Fair
In St. Marys, the Pleasants County Fair celebrates a small Ohio River county where the Pleasants Power Station's cooling towers dominate the landscape and the oil and gas heritage, small-scale agriculture, and Ohio River commerce define a community of modest size and genuine working-class character.
Local Tips
St. Marys sits on the Ohio River opposite Pomeroy, Ohio. The county's oil and natural gas heritage reflects West Virginia's role as an early petroleum producer — the first commercially drilled oil well in West Virginia was in Wirt County, and the oil patch extends through Pleasants County.
