It’s just around the corner – the highlight of summer: The New Jersey State Fair/Sussex County Farm & Horse Show! Running August 4-13, this ten-day show highlights the hallmarks of an old-fashioned country fair, as well as lots of entertainment, food, and shopping.

The six barns will be full of animals, the three rings will be showcasing horses, and there will be plenty for every member of the family to do. The RoNetco Supermarkets Family Entertainment area has K-9s in Flight, racing pigs, petting zoo, dinosaur fossils, and a chainsaw artist. The Outdoor Entertainment Area features two demo derbies, a mudbog, tractor pulls, motocross, and opening night concert. The Performing Arts Tent has free entertainment every day.
