The NJ State Fair / Sussex County Farm and Horse Show

One of the most anticipated events of the summer has arrived! The NJ State Fair / Sussex County Farm & Horse Show is being held this week at The Fairgrounds 37 Plains Rd. Augusta from August 2nd – 10th. Family Promise of Sussex County is honored to be one of the “Non-Profit Spotlight” organizations this year. Special thank you to the organizers of the fair for this recognition and opportunity. Please come enjoy the Sussex County Farm & Horse Show where farm meets fun!


Here are a few activities you can do for free at the Fair
· Watch the Woodman Competition!
· Root for your favorite at the Hot Dog Pig Races!
· Marvel at the Fire Dance show evenings behind the Conservatory!
· Stop by Family Promise of Sussex County’s table!


You can’t talk about any county fair without talking about the food! Delish did a survey last year, polling fairgoers from each state to come up with a list of their top fair foods by state. Florida named a Funnel Cake Sandwich made with pork, pickles and Swiss cheese. Idaho of course had a potato dish called Twister Potatoes which pretty much resembles thick cut potato chips on a stick. Garlic Truffle Tortatoe anyone? For New Jersey the standout was Rainbow Kettle Corn. What’s your favorite food, activity, exhibit at the Fair?
