Pig races & bull riding Jersey-style

****Sorry for the layout here- I don't know how to fix it but you get the idea of what's going on and the link are clickable!***

It's State Fair time in NJ. I've actually never been to it because it's in Sussex and that's far for me to go not knowing if it would be my thing. BUT, I did just get an email from my friend Illanna asking me if I was going, saying she and another friend are, because they had a great time last year. So I thought it was worth a mention here. It's not easy entertaining these little kids of ours so if there's something going on, it's nice to know about. I'm not sure I'd want to do it in extreme heat but it's going on for TEN days. Take your pick. Their site is www.newjerseystatefair.org but I copied their Aug 3rd schedule so you can take a gander at what goes on there and see if it interests you.
