Animal lovers may experience an entire tent housing animal shelter groups with their charges, circus performers, pony rides and children's games will attract parents and children to participate.The County Sheriff's Department, the County Prosecutor's office and the New Jersey National Guard will demonstrate techniques, equipment and arms that protect us all year long. An Army Blackhawk helicopter is scheduled to fly to the fair grounds.

The Sheriff's EMT unit will be present and the Sheriff's CERT team will assist in car parking. Free busing is available to the Fairgrounds. Craft vendors, private businesses and non-profit organizations will display their products and tout their services.

The County will bring in some of its heavy equipment for inspection by all; especially for the tax paying public. The County tent will exhibit various information and services of its many Departments.

A chainsaw carver will demonstrate his skills.

Many other features, too numerous to cite in this article, will help make the Fair a pleasurable and exciting experience. So come to the Fair in the pride of the summer.
