If you haven't visited yet, there's still time! Where else can you thrill to a hot air balloon ride, eat cotton candy on a carnival midway, watch traditional craftsmen at work, get down-and-dirty in a Mud Bog competition, and cheer your neighbor on in a tractor pull... all in the same place? Yes, the Farmers' Fair, featuring one of New Jerseys' popular Hot Air Balloon Festivals is truly a family affair. Highlights remaining include the 4-Wheel Drive Truck Pull tonight; the Holstein Show, Bobby Clark & the "Play It Hard" Band, and the Demolition Derby tomorrow; the Mud Bog competition and D2W Pro Wrestling on Sunday; and Mass Hot Air Balloon Inflation and Tethered Rides all three remaining days, weather permitting. And don't forget the food! Fair hours are 12 noon to 10 pm.
