The theme for this year's fair is "Christmas In July".
Please stop at the Home Arts & Crafts Tent and the 4‑H Tent to see the displays of holiday themed entries.
Future Farmers of America Presentations! Wednesday, July 17th presentations at the FFA tent will be done on the following topics: Turfgrass Management, Hunting Dogs, Fermentation and Agriculture in NJ. Be sure to stop at FFA tent for presentation times!
On Tuesday, July 16th the ROBOTECH TEAM will be exhibiting in the County Commercial Tent. Please stop by and see this team of students with their robots!
Horses, cows, rabbits, sheep, goats and other animals are on display each day. Most of these are shown by 4‑H members who hope their project animal will win a blue ribbon.
On Friday, it was anticipated that farmers would compete in dairy cow shows from 8:30am to 12:30pm in the North Show Tent, where visitors could also watch dairy cows being milked twice daily in the Milking Tent. But due to circumstances beyond our control, these events will NOT take place. We thank you for your understanding.
Daily horse shows, open to the public, are also a major attraction.
Please note: All animals might not be in attendance every day of the fair. Extreme weather conditions will dictate which animals may attend the fair safely.
An exciting "Draft Horse Pull" is held on Wednesday afternoon starting with registration at 3:00pm. The pull begins at 6:00pm. Majestic draft horses come to perform at our fair from Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Visitors are invited to sit in the stands to cheer them on as they perform in the Horse Pulls.
Old steam engines and antique farm equipment bring back memories for many. A very popular attraction is the tractor pull in a dedicated tractor pull arena.
Children can participate in becoming a "Farmer for a Day" in a special exhibit.
The Children's Tractor Pull will take place on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Finals on Saturday. Located in the Northeast Corner Tent across from the Farmer for a Day Exhibit. Registration at 6:30pm, pulls begin at 7:00pm.
