Grab The Popcorn! It's Time For County Fair Season in NJ

It's Time For County Fair Season in New Jersey

It is about time for the summer "county fair" season, which means lots of ice cream, midway games, and animals, plus, throw in a Ferris wheel and a tilt-to-whirl and have fun at the fairgrounds. Almost every county in New Jersey has a "county fair". Lots of 4H clubs are involved with the county fairs and it's nice to see the kids and their animals out at the fair. Midway games are always fun and everyone likes taking a plush home at the end of the night, but food I think is king at the county fair.
