This is the season for great New Jersey tradition, the local and county fair. I'm so glad they are back. The local and county fairs are the makeup of the extended community they serve. The fair is an integral part of keeping the community together.

I was at the Middlesex County Fair on Thursday night and I forgot how "americana" and local the fair is to the community.The fair has everything rides, a midway, farm animals, entertainment, and usually homemade crafts and local merchandise for sale.
