Free and Discounted Activities at this Year’s Montgomery County Agricultural Fair

This year the annual Montgomery County Agricultural Fair will run from August 13th through the 21st. The MoCo Show is proud to be an official sponsor of the 2021 Montgomery County Agricultural Fair, please make sure to stop by our booth and say hello!


Wayback Burgers, a fast-casual burger chain based out of Connecticut, is coming to Montgomery County with a new location in Gaithersburg.

Construction on the restaurant begins today. It will be located at The Shops of Potomac Valley shopping center at 12121 Darnestown Rd. in the location that was formerly home to an AT&T store and a tanning salon before that.


When residents across the county put in their orders for $5 gyros at Big Greek Cafe on Wednesday, July 14th, they saw that the price had increased to $6– the first time the price of the Wednesday gyro special had increased in over a decade.

“Since 2009 we’ve held onto that price of $5 gyro.  Unfortunately due to the rise in cost due to the current drastic increases, we can no longer sustain that price and we had to make the hard decision to raise the price by $1” Big Greek Cafe ownership told us.


A new shop that will feature “ice cream, acai bowls, dog treats, and more” will be coming to Germantown Town Center, taking over the location that was formerly home to Town Center Cleaners (next to Acqua Nails).

Temporary signage has gone up at the location stating that the shop will offer everything listed above. A neon sign is also up in the window that reads “100% Sweet.” As of now, we’re unsure if it’s referring to the new name of the location or if it’s describing the upcoming menu.


Last week we let you know that Fry Guy, a locally owned fried chicken, fish and waffle restaurant, is coming 7601 AirPark Rd Suite B in Gaithersburg, the former site of Penang Garden.

The owners tell us, “When it comes to our food, flavor is at the center! We have worked really hard to create relationships with distributors that only provide high quality products.  While our bread and butter is chicken, fish, and waffles, we have several other items on our menu!“


Haagen Dazs will close its Bethesda Row location on July 31st, according to an employee at the shop.

The ice cream shop, which has been there for about a decade, will be replaced by a Chaia Tacos pop-up. Chaia currently has two locations in D.C. and will be bringing their vegan tacos to Bethesda Row.
