Today is the day when you start to see the end of summer.
The Somerset County 5-H Fair concludes its three-day run today at North Branch Park. All the tents will be empty by tomorrow morning and all of thre cages and stalls will be empty and, hopefully, cleaned up.
Today, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., is your last chance to attend the fair and have a lazy summer Friday lunch in the big tent. Non-profit groups --- churches, clubs, scout troops --- rely on serving the best home-cooked food in Somerset County as their major fundraiser for the year. Picking a favorite food vendor at the fair is like a parent picking a favorite child. They’re all equally good.
Maps and schedules of daily events, such as dog, horse and livestock shows, will be available in the information tent or by clicking http://somerset.njaes.rutgers.edu/4hfair/4h-2013-Fair-Schedules.pdf and http://somerset.njaes.rutgers.edu/4hfair/4h-2013-Fair-Map.pdf.
It is also the last chance to visit Patch, who will be at the fair with partner Benjamin Moore, handing out fun freebies. Patch has partnered with Benjamin Moore to promote their program Main Street Matters. We both share a commitment to connecting our communities and helping them prosper
To make getting in and out of the fairgrounds as easy as possible, free shuttle buses will run from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. each day of the fair from Raritan Valley Community College on Route 28 in Branchburg. If it rains, no parking will be allowed at the fairgrounds.
The last event on the fair schedule tonight is a turtle race in the Herpetology Tent at 9 p.m.
We can hope that maybe the fair won’t come to an end if none of the turtles reach the finish line
