Since 1912, the town has held a carnival called Elkton Field Day.
It is held in early July and features rides, good food, yard sales, live bluegrass music, fireworks, and a greased pole climbing contest in which contestants try to retrieve prize money at the top of the 25 foot pole covered in hand soap.
The event is sponsored by the Junior Order of the United American Mechanics in Elkton.
The group gives out scholarships and help for those in need.
